Oh dear, it’s a good job EE hasn’t launched it’s ’4GEE’ network in Ireland yet, because, well, it’s a bit of a branding disaster over there. Apparently ‘gee’ translates to something very different, and unmentionable, in Ireland; you certainly wouldn’t want that all over your phone, that’s for sure.
Yeah, ‘gee’ means ‘blimey’ or ‘golly’ in most of the world, probably thanks to the Americans, but in Ireland it means something wholly different. It’s apparently a derogatory slang term for a lady’s unmentionables, but don’t take my word for it, check out the plethora of Urban Dictionary entries. Ouch. [The Register]
“give us a shot of your gee?”
Would you like to partake in some sexual relations with me
The whack of her gee was brutal
-her vagina didn’t smell very nice
HA! Using that one.

As someone from Ireland, I’ve never heard someone using the term “Gee” in that manor. Need to sort out 3g coverage over here before they start rolling out 4G. Also need to sort out broadband roll out too. I’m from an area that still doesn’t get a basic connection. STOOPID Irish government wasting all our money.
As someone else from (Northern) Ireland, I most certainly HAVE heard the term used in that way.
So since 3G is pronounced 3gee I assume the irish have been laughing at this for a while? I’m sure some clever wag will release a vibrator over there using the 4GEE branding (for gee).
Nope – the slang term (it’s Dublin working class slang, hence the Irish commenter above not being familiar) is pronounced with a hard ‘g’ (as in ‘gravity’) while the ‘g’ in 3G is a soft ‘g’. The only humour is seeing it in print, not in hearing it.
So it sounds more like ghee (a format of purified butter). In that case the laughs would come in an irish Indian cookery class.
Its true. Its a commonly used term here
I can’t seriously be the only person who thinks that 4 gee sounds like an attractive proposition and a really good night in….? baum chicka bow wow
The previous strap line “The Future’s Bright, the Future’s Orange” probably didn’t go down too well in the Irish Republic either.
