The Demise of the Gee

What ever happened to gee? It, in all it forms, used to be the primary alpha insult – gee, What a geebag, I have an awful taste of gee in my mouth, geehair, and so on,.

Now it’s all cunt this and cunt that: You cunting cunt, Fucking cunt. Gee is part of our culture and our heritage. It is part of what made us what we are. It separated us from the rest of the world. This was a secret word known only to us paddies, our own national shibboleth as Irish as red lemonade, Tayto crisps, a packet of Major. It is a little bit of Ireland that is being lost forever in a thin undifferentiated gruel of abusive and insulting language. Ah gee.
