Jeez/Geez Louise! – Неужели? О боже! Да ты что? (выражение удивления, возмущения и т.д.) Exclamation of surprise, excitement, or being extremely mad/pissed off. A mild oath. Roughly equivalent to saying “Jesus Christ” as an oath, but less severe, and used so as not to get stricken down for blasphemy. The words rhyme to imply a sense a humor and may have started as a line in some comedy or movie: Geez Louise! I can’t believe this definition isn’t in here yet! Jeeves – Дживз (безупречный камердинер в произведениях П. Г. Вудхауса); идеальный слуга A man who is a personal servant for another man. Reginald Jeeves is a fictional character created by British comic writer P. G. Wodehouse. Jeeves is mainly the servant to Bertie Wooster, a rich, foolish, foppish but good-hearted post-First World War bachelor. He uses his nearomniscience to get Bertie out of tricky situations, usually out of unsuitable engagements.

Jeeves has been portrayed on television series by Stephen Fry in the early 1990s.
