+railroader921 Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Apparently in Southern Utah geocaches are now called "Jeeks". Has anyone else adopted this name is there a pet name for geocaches in your area?
+wiseye Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 I thought a JEEK was a four wheeling guy with a pocket protector!
knowschad Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Urban dictionary shows that as the primary definition of "JEEK" In geocaching, the global scavenger hunt game played with a GPS, jeek is the name for the "treasure" you find. My girlfriend wants to take me jeeking, should I go? In my circle of friends, its just "caching" and "cache". Just as easy to say as "jeeking" and "jeek" and it sound much less jeekey*!! *Definition #2 is a cross between a jock and a geek, with the empahsis on geek
knowschad Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 This is also a Jeek (very possibly a jeek reviewer)
+LewisClan77 Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 I HATE it. I am even more glad I don't live in Utah than before.
+Chokecherry Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Most non-cachers don't have a clue what we're talking about about anyhow when we say cache... I likely wouldn't adopt jeek as a term and would continue to cache. I can't even truly get used to muggle for non-cacher.
+TheAlabamaRambler Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 We should start calling trees 'muns'. It makes just as much sense as calling caches 'jeeks' (which is to say no sense at all).
knowschad Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 We should start calling trees 'muns'. It makes just as much sense as calling caches 'jeeks' (which is to say no sense at all). I see the logic in it. "JEE" from "G" (gee) and the "K" from the hard "C" in "cache. By the way, is "I hate the word, "muggles" on the schedule, Ambient Skater? If so, you may want to add "and the word JEEK" to it.
knowschad Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Seven Days Without A Jeek Jeek Run Jeek in the Box Hide and Jeek Looks to me like a term made up by one or two cachers jeekers. I would be very surprised if it caught on and spread.

AZcachemeister Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Lots of ancillary terminology flying around out there. Seems rather ridiculous that they can't be satisfied with (or don't comprehend) the terminology that has already been established.
