geeing
Commanding rightward movement
Geeing is the present participle of gee, a command to a horse or draft animal meaning turn right.
Teamsters and plowmen use it opposite haw (turn left): He kept geeing the mule to stay on the path.
To gee up is to urge an animal forward, or figuratively to encourage someone to get moving.
