Definitions
A breezy British informal contraction of 'gorgeous' — the kind of word that pops up in texts, casual conversation, and reality TV with total ease. It shaves 'gorgeous' down to something more spontaneous and affectionate, carrying a slightly playful, warm energy. You'd use it to compliment a friend's outfit, a new haircut, a plate of food, or basically anything that deserves a quick but genuine expression of admiration without needing the full word.
Oh my days, that dress is absolutely gorgey — where did you get it?
