Webster's Dictionary (1913)

Gee intransitive verb [past tense & past participle Geed; present participle & verbal noun Geeing.]

1. To agree; to harmonize. Colloq. or Prov. Eng. Robert Forby

2. 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.]

☞ 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.

Gee transitive verb

Origin: See Gee to turn.
