verb

Gee v. t. (Written also jee) To cause (a team) to turn to the off side, or from the driver.

Gee v. i. (past & past part. geed; pres. part. geeing)

To agree; to harmonize. (Colloq. or Prov. Eng.)

To turn to the off side, or from the driver (i.e., in the United States, to the right side); said of cattle, or a team; used most frequently in the imperative, often with off, by drivers of oxen, in directing their teams, and opposed to haw, or hoi. (Written also jee) Note: In England, the teamster walks on the right-hand side of the cattle; in the United States, on the left-hand side. In all cases, however, gee means to turn from the driver, and haw to turn toward him.

Gee ho, or Gee whoa. Same as Gee.
