What does jeez mean?

"Jeez" is an interjection, meaning a word or phrase used to express strong emotion. It's a mild exclamation of surprise, annoyance, or disbelief.

Here are some ways it's used:

* Surprise: "Jeez, that was close!"

* Annoyance: "Jeez, why do I always forget my keys?"

* Disbelief: "Jeez, you're kidding, right?"

"Jeez" is considered informal and is often used in casual conversation. It's a common expression in English-speaking countries.

It's thought to be a shortened form of "Jesus" or "Jesus Christ," but it's not used in a religious way.
