The English word elephant is from the Latin "elefantus", which derives from elevatus (raised) + fant (speaking) - in other words, an animal which makes a loud noise. Subsequent transliteration to the Greek alphabet resulted in the English word we recognise as "elephant".
What is that large animal which is making a loud noise whilst crossing the Alps with Hannibal?
That is what we have decided to call "an elephant", Centurion.

Irish Slang Was introduced in the interests of political correctness as an alternative to the phallo-centric term pricking around. Although the terms are largely interchangeable, geeing around has come to have connotations of added listlessness or apathy. It has also become a less polite term than the male equivalent. Note however, that as with pricking around, a member of either gender can be said to be geeing around.
So what have you been doing all day?
Ah nothing really, just geeing around watching Richard & Judy, waiting for the post to arrive.
