h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Dear Reestitmutton, would a guizer be the Scottish cousin of the English geezer :~), as in greebo, person... individual? What would your h2g2 entry for guizer be? Love the chewy spelling ;~)

A guizer is a person or group of people (male or female) in a disguise, who usually do not speak until they have been identified by the people they have gone visiting guizing.

This happens at periods of festivities such as New Year, Birthdays, Haloween and Fire festivals, and is practised all over Scotland (I think)

This is almost the same as the definition from Wikipedia which I have copied below.

Derived from the differently pronounced 'guiser', a name for an actor in a mime. [1] Possibly related to disguise. In this sense it refers to a kind of everyman.

I hope this makes sense to you

Cheers

That makes absolute and perfect sense. Thankyou very much for enlightening me, I find it very interesting ;~) cheers to you sir.
