     [ "Gee Whiz" ]

    1: A word once used by youth as a substitute for cursing, but that has now been so associated with the elderly it’s become an ageist slur. It was confirmed at a slur after the “gee whiz” attacks of 2006, where four elderly citizens in New Jersey were roundhouse kicked into critical conditions while the word gee whiz was brutally yelled at them. The same year, the so-called “gee whiz hitmen” broke into a nursing home in Idaho, vandalising the building with the word gee whiz in red blood-like spray paint, and subsequently attempting to throw an elderly man Geoffrey Wilson out of a third story window. The man’s wheelchair proved difficult to fit through the window pane, so the attempt was unsuccessful, and the rioters were arrested. Gee Whiz is now a deeply offensive word, and one that should scarcely be uttered again, unless the elderly wish to reclaim it.

      * e.g.,  ... 2006 Lilac Flowers Retirement Home attacker: “Geoffrey was nothing but a filthy old Gee Whiz, and one we we felt must be disposed of” Wilson’s granddaughter: “I will never, ever utter the GW words in my life, they have caused harm to our poor elderly, and I will continue to fight against this all-too-common term”
