Meaning
Cool and airy — of weather with a pleasant wind. But in youth slang 'breezy' can also mean cold, offhand, or dismissive toward someone: 'she a act breezy wid mi' means she's being distant and cold with me, giving me the chilly shoulder. So the word runs from the plain, welcome coolness of a breezy day to the frosty, standoffish attitude of a person who has turned cold, the two senses sharing the idea of a chill, in the air or in the manner.
