Doesn’t geezer mean something besides an older man in the UK? Here it’s the same as codger.
Yeah, a geezer is a name for a man ( doesn't have to be a duffer or codger ) but is often used with certain characteristics. Characteristics can differ i.e. dodgy geezer , sound geezer etc

Most of the things people say in the US is also said in Canada but we also use some words from the UK. I feel like all I do is tell people in the UK that I'm not American and people in the US that I'm not British.
No wonder the world is the hot soupy mess that it is People can't even tolerate how different cultures say or spell anything.

We say “Ya’ll”instead of “You guys.”Really old people would sometimes use “you’uns” but that’s hardly ever heard anymore.Sometimes a group of men can be called boys.
