Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Okay, the word "gese" is derived from an Old English word meaning "so be it." It's a term meaning "yes." So I'm requesting- not demanding, not insisting, just requesting- that you do two things.

Firstly and most importantly, STOP SAYING THE WORD YES. Don't constantly disagree- that's inconvenient, and I would know :) - but instead of saying "yes" say "gese." See, it's almost like, as English-speaking natives, our brains are programmed to say "yes." It would be very interesting to see if we could "reboot" them.   

Secondly and optionally (more so than the other), print out extra copies of gese and its definitions that I am putting on here. You can hand them out to any friends or relatives you might be seeing and encourage them to start using the word "gese" too, instead of "yes." There is, intriguingly enough, only one word in the English language that was just randomly invented, and I bet it's one you use a lot. (This is also an interesting tidbit for teachers who think that it's weird for students to reply "gese" as opposed to "yes.") The word quiz was thought up by a young Irish gent whose friend bet him he couldn't invent a new word. The next day, on every writing surface in the town was written the word "quiz." When people began asking what it meant, the folks in on it replied, "A brief or impromptu test." Very interesting. For more information on such matters you can read Andrew Clements' fictional novel Frindle. Very good book.

GESEGese (gee-say): originated from Old English word meaning so be it. Definition: yes; expression of affirmation.

You can print that out numerous times, if you so desire, and resize it on Microsoft too, because I think that the larger size and font I posted with is redone by the Administrators.

Thank you for your time! :)
