I like the term "geezers" that The Streets uses a lot in his songs, I am trying to make it cool slang in the U.S., but I doubt it will succeed.

Uhm... geezer has been commonly used in the U.S. since before you were born.

Anyone apart from a Londoner using this word should be shot imo. People with a standard English accent sound like their trying too hard when they use it and an American would just be laughable.

Huh? It's a commonly used word in the U.S. I had no idea it was even used in Britain. Like, it's 50s slang or somecrap, but it's common.
