A euphemism for use of "Jesus" used to show that you are angry, annoyed or surprised or as an acknowledgement of another's situation in which anger, annoyance, or surprise is expressed.
Where as "Jesus", used in such a context, can be considered a swear word that many people find offensive, "Jeezers" is a concession towards softening that offensiveness. The usage is not derogatory. It is a replacement to avoid potential offensiveness in American English while not importing the use of "Crikey" from British English.
