geesed

In the prehistoric ghoulash of human stew, the god of geesage, "geesed-ton", was sitting beneath a tree when it was suddenly struck with lightning. Geesed-ton went unconscience for quite some time, however when he awakened he found himself enlightened, and instantly realized how one could geese on another. He taught the artform of the geesage to his young apprentice, Dickson Tse, and told the young man to never use the artform against another, for he knew of its true power. One day while Dickson Tse was on his way to Chinatown to retreive some cocktail-buns, he coincidentally crossed paths with Liye Zhang, the god of anti-geesage. In Dickson's conscience he knew that he shouldn't use the power of the geese, but he knew that in this situation his master would do the same. Dickson waged his geesage upon Liye, however Liye was quick to return a quick move of anti-geesage, and from that point on, the war of geesage vs. anti-geesage was engaged. To this day, the only known power to prevail over the art of geesage is the art of wombat copter.

Gete

Gete is the essence of a Dionysian lifestyle infused with modern sensibilities. You know you've experienced gete, when the teeth in your endlessly smiling face are slightly purple from one too many glasses of dry red wine that tasted oh so good, and you still know that you look like the most fabulous example of a modern day princess.
Darling, this has been a wonderfully gete evening.
You are a gete kind of woman!
