Breezy

adjective BREE-zy ˈbriːzi

Also spelled briizi, breezy

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.

  • Di evening nice an breezy.

    The evening is nice and breezy.

  • Since di argument she a act breezy.

    Since the argument she's been cold/offhand.

  • Sit pon di verandah, it breezy out yah.

    Sit on the verandah, it's breezy out here.

From 'breeze'; the 'cold attitude' sense extends the coolness of a breeze to a cool manner.

Chiefly 'cool/airy' (weather); in slang also 'cold/offhand' toward someone. See [[breeze]].
