Gees

/dΚ’iz/ noun, exclamation

Plural of 'gee,' an exclamation expressing surprise or wonder; also commands to a horse to turn right or go faster.

The exclamation 'gee' has uncertain origins but possibly relates to 'Jesus' as a mild oath or exclamation. The command to horses likely comes from its similarity to other interjections used with animals, popular since the 18th century.
