I Need To Know 2 Expressions

[MediaSlayer]

i would like to know what "geezer" means...i'll use it in a sentence..
i am a geezer
what does that sentence mean?i heard it in a movie

also what does "bar steward" mean

[FatBastard]

A Geezer is just a man, like "Bloke". Bar Steward = Bastard. (or Barman)

so j'pol is calling everyone bastards?

[3rd gen noob]

depending on the context, geezer can be used to describe a 'dodgy' man or a cool man.

for example "he's a bit of a dodgy geezer, that michael jackson"
or "he's a top geezer, richard whitely"

:)

ok 3rd well, maybe i should have given the context,

the movie is lock,stock,and two smoking barrels

the guy with the pony tail is talking about robbing the guys selling the weed and he says "i'm a geezer" now,
i always thought he was meaning to say something like "i'm a man" meaning "they are boys, and i'm a man, i can kick their ass"

but maybe i got it all wrong

Edit: thanks to a helpful member who gave me this link in pm, here is a paste from a translator site

geezer Noun. 1. General term for a man, however the word can imply more specific qualities, see version 2.
2. A confident man with masculine qualities, very much 'laddish' in nature and respected.
* Also occasionally spelt geeza.

ok it is saying a geezer can mean something like the way we would say "jock"
i think :blink: except jocks are really respected in the usa, whereas the definition of geezer does mention respect
