The word "gee on" is a dialectal expression primarily used in the region of Yorkshire in northern England. Its origins are unclear, but it's believed to have originated in the early 20th century. Some theories suggest that the expression derives from the phrase "gid on 'em," meaning "hurry up" or "get moving." The phrase may have been shortened to "gee on" over time. Another theory suggests that "gee on" is derived from the dialectal word "gee," meaning "gentleman" or "gentry." The expression may have been used in a similar context to "get going," implying that people should follow the lead of the local gentry. Whatever its origins, "gee on" remains a unique expression of Yorkshire dialect, used to encourage people to move quickly and efficiently. Its use may vary across different dialects within Yorkshire, with some using variations such as "get on wi' it" or "let's have a go" in place of "gee on." In contemporary usage, "gee on" is sometimes used as a term of endearment, akin to "come on" or "let's go," But it is still predominantly associated with the Yorkshire dialect and is less commonly heard outside of that region.
