"Guyzer" is the American pronunciation, "geezer" the British. However, if the US has more geysers in Yellowstone alone than the rest of the world in its entirety, it seems only fitting to use the American pronunciation, especially if the alternative makes you think primarily of retirees--although Yellowstone no doubt boasts a disproportionate number of those as well.
Hahahahahahaha that was way funnier than it has any right to be 😂😂
Oi! Look at this geeza!
True story.
Geezer doesn’t mean old person in English slang. It’s more akin to calling someone a “Bro.”
Cool story Geez@@the_enemee
I'm disappointed that the writer didn't include the number of people who are boiled alive in the pools and then some bodies are desolved by the acidic nature of the pools.
Yeah, I worked two seasons there, geyers lofting people in the air was LOL on this end. Yes, they do kill people but not that way and the neighboring states will likely not exist as such when and if it finally does go off tens of thousands of years from now.
check out the book "Death in Yellowstone" for boiling alive stories
Karl, with a “K”, you are a Legend. This was a catastrophically excellent episode! It’s time to name you the Host with an “H”, dammit!
AGREED!!
I’ve been to Yellowstone more times than I can count since the 80s, and American’s have always called the volcanoes in Yellowstone:
Geysers (eg: guysers, including everyone who worked at Yellowstone)
And we’ve called old people geezers. That’s the difference between the two…
Getting blown into the air isn't the worse thing that can happen from bathing in a hot spring. Some of those springs are not only boiling hot but highly acidic. A few years ago, some guy ventured into a hot spring on a dare. He basically melted almost immediately and not a trace of him could be recovered.
Another guy brought his dog. The dog ran into a hot spring and immediately began wailing. The guy ran in after his dog (not sure if before lr after the dog started screeching), both died. Keep your pets on leashes, please.
In the US, a geezer is generally a cranky old man.
No one wants to see a geezer blow in the US.
In brittish english it's just a man
karl goes off about his last name... every newfoundlander, "I wonder if he's related to Joey?"
My guys sounding like a teacher ‘yes my names Smallwood let’s move on’ shush my lad
As an American, and one from the west no less, I can assure you, we pronounce it guy-zer.
Since Yellowstone is in America, you should use the American pronunciation!
These videos always make My day! You're the Best 😊😊😊
Having been to Yellowstone, there are a lot of geysers and there are a lot of geezers there. Both are pretty common actually and kind of smell funny.
I've watched "Snatch" too many times. Every time I hear Karl say "geezer", I take it totally out of context. 😂
I like the sleeve.
his other arm is naked and it bothers me. karl pls get more tattoos
The true source of Yellowstone's earthquakes is all those geezers (over half the world total) with their canes stomping around the park.
2:52 THANK YOU!
Thanks for the fun facts and banter Karl. Oh and Ospreys are awesome!
Karl, you are wrong. The correct pronunciation of the word geyser is "gai zr" , I just looked it up, which is spoken as GUY ZER
His pronunciation guide knows he's a Brit 😂
@goosenotmaverick1156 yet he himself said he looked it up. Google probably. Google told me what I posted.
@@latenighter1965 he would have used a pronunciation guide, though, more than likely. Not google.
Also regional differences may still be represented by Google.
According to collins dictionary
Brittish: giːzəʳ
US: gaɪzər
@AltonV then Smallwood is still wrong. I looked up pronunciation of geyser in brittish vocabulary and it's GEE ZA, not geezer
Mining dragonglass before it was cool
Thank you.
On top of Geyser and Geezer, there is also Geiser Grand Hotel in Baker City, Oregon near the border with Idaho.
Fun fact, there has been a criminal case from the yellowstone zone, for un aliving an animal, the guy was judged by a jury and found guilty
Hi Carl, small note here for you and the author: thanks to decades of conservation and banning the use of DDT in the 1970s, Osprey are not in zoos. I doubt they ever were due to their biology. Just wanted you to.know. Love from across the pond.
That " zone of death" thing is a total myth
Plot twist: a giant asteroid lands in Yellow Stone plugging the supervolcano
Give us more Smallwood!
There is a series of booked about an investigator called Atticus Preist. In my mind, Karl is Atticus.
The more you insist your last name is Smallwood the less likely I am to believe it
Do you know Richard Smallwood? He wrote Total Praise
Not sure I can go with the ffviii poster. Surely should be ffvii
Yellowstone was the worlds 1st National park established in 1872, 265 years after the first colonists in Jamestown, the second was the Royal National Park just south of Sydney, Australia in 1879, only 91 years after the First Fleet and settlement in Sydney Cove. We win in terms of time taken to establish.
And the rest of the world, including America, had no idea it was a contest.
I can’t do it with this geezer
What a breath taking, beautiful place. I'd love to have a few weeks or months to camp out, appreciate and explore it and other National Parks (I'd also love to see the HUGE, very old Redwood trees). More than I want to see any city or town actually.
If you end up out west, Bryce Canyon was the highlight of our last trip that included Arches, Grand Canyon, Yellowstone and others.
Yeah it’s nice to spend a few weeks here. Not quite as scenic compared to some other NP, but much more classic. Also, if you ever wanna see big redwoods, go to Sequoia, not redwood national park. Redwood is more of a rainforest area with relatively smaller redwoods. While sequoia is mountainous and has much larger trees
Great job again. And I don’t find anything wrong with your surname, but you bring it up frequently. Have you ever given any thought to Karl … Redwood?
He likes to head off the jokes. I assume they are many. It's not something he joked about on his own channel though that I'm aware of. Not this way. He certainly jokes about it but that specific joke is for us here as a special treat lol
No matter how many times, my inner young boy giggles every time.
Poor Karl with a K 😊
How about a top tenz of locations for prospective super massive volcanos.
So commit murder, no jury? So many options to dispose of a body! How to get a body from Melbourne to Wyoming 😮
Lmfao son used his RUclips money to get one sleeve done in the most atrocious looking way 😂😂😂😂😂
Geezer! 😆
What on earth is super-heated water?
Stop being the interim host, PLEASE. You do a great job. I'd much rather that you stay around. Greetings from Dimboola in Victoria, Australia. 😊
Is Karl going to be the official host yet????!
I am sorry but Geysir is an Icelandic word so try and use google to pronounce it for you😄
In America this gentleman accent is hard to understand.
GUY-zer is ised in all references to a natural boiling eruption in all languages except British English, therefore, GUY-zer is correct.
Re: The Grammarphobia Blog.
Bruh the "Smallwood" joke in every video is getting played out. Just a tip
I was all for removing the "interim" from your title right up until you started saying 'geezer' 🤣
The way u say geysers gives me a brain anerysim
"American/Simplified English" is close to being a misnomer. Some things are small and understandable, like their need to simplify spelling. Other things just sound like mistakes rather than "simplified English". Words that aren't pronounced a bit different, words that just sound so wrong, as if they deliberately tried to come up with something that is just as different as they could make it, just for the sake of it. That brings their measurement system to mind. Which gets tossed out the window as soon as one gets into something like the field of Sciences/Engineering and Medicine. Makes sense
Yellowstone will probably never have a "super" eruption again. The multitues of earthquakes mean we know the makeup of the magma under Yellowstone, and it is not the kind that makes masive eruptions. Even if the magma reaches the surface, it would most likely just be a small effusive eruption that won't affect much of anything outside the park. That is, if it ever erupts again, some scientists believe it is even shutting down.
If you want to be watching for a super eruption, there are plenty of other volcanos on this planet to keep an eye on.
Your thinking of long valley volcano yellowstone has 2 massive chambers under it.its a matter of when not if. the long valley caldera is the 1 that is believed to be dying
Geezer is the correct pronunciation, as usual the Americans tried to simplify the language.
Guy-zer IS the "correct" American pronunciation. One doesn't have to be "more correct" than the other. They're both just correct.
Actually American English is more like the old English than it is in the uk now guyser is the correct pronunciation
One of your better videos, but I still wish they would get a new host. At least you didn't bring out that stupid atneater or ardvark or whatever it is and do a 45min long commercial in the middle of this one. I swear, every time you do that I want to unsubscribe from every channel you are associated with.
ONLY IN ICELAND, BRO. CLARIFY OR REMAIN IGNORANT.
The term is derived from the Icelandic word geysir, meaning “to gush.” Geysers result from the heating of groundwater by shallow bodies of magma. They are generally associated with areas that have seen past volcanic activity.
How do Icelanders pronounce geyser?
Geysir (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈceiːsɪr̥]), sometimes known as The Great Geysir, is a geyser in southwestern Iceland.
It’s pronounced with an ee sound in the UK and Australia
A Geezer is not an old person...it means.... he's a Diamond.... top bloke...etc..
In the US, it's an old person.
I thought Florida had the most geezers?!
