The Geil-o-mat happened because I kept hearing “Geil” used with all sorts of adjectives to express all sorts of ideas.

When you move to another country [I’m a Canadian in Germany], the fine nuances of a language are a series of ever-shifting goal posts.

Somehow this brought to mind a verb conjugation wheel I had in high school French class. I had a Rewe shopping bag, some masking tape and a dream. A few minutes later, the lowest of low-fi prototypes appeared. It spins, the window works, it’s silly in a satisfying way.

So far so good.

The next step is to improve precision. And for that I need your help. What types of Geil should appear on the final version? Answers below please.
