    My guess would be some Tagalog epithet used by the locals. Anyone here from the Philippines?

    Possibly but Ali is training at Deer Lake here so I thought it's probably some American slang term.

    He said he was a geechy.

    He was insulting Frazier. Geechy referred to plantation slaves who spoke with a broken English dialect.

    He basically said he was a plantation slave with a poor vocabulary.

    It was Ali being racist, right before he saw the giant stuffed gorilla, called it Frazier, and started hitting it.
