A Scottish variant or emphatic form of 'gey,' meaning 'very' or 'considerably'; used in stronger emphasis.
From Scottish English, representing an intensified or alternative form of gey. The suffix -an or the fuller form suggests regional dialectal variations in Scots, building on the root gey with additional phonetic elaboration.
This shows how dialects layer emphasis—geyan is like saying 'gey' but with extra punch, showing how speakers naturally elaborate their words for stronger expression. It's the linguistic equivalent of leaning forward for emphasis!
