Geili
"The hiking began in January 2009 at the height of the global economic slowdown, so we gave that year's hiking the theme of 'being in the same boat'. This year we are calling it 'Gelivable Bosch'," said Ren. Gelivable is a newly minted pinyin/Western word meaning "amazing"
Chinese Internet buzzword which means "cool," "awesome" or "exciting." Literally, "giving power."
The Shanghai Daily reported that a Chinese neologism, "geili," which means, "cool," "awesome" or "exciting," had been granted the "official seal of approval" by appearing in The People's Daily - the official paper of the Communist Party:
"Geili" is created from two Chinese characters "gei" and "li." Literally, it means "giving power," but is now widely accepted as an adjective describing something that's "cool."
A test of a Chinese jargon word's trendiness is if users translate it into a foreign language, ac
cording to its pronunciation. "Geili" has been transformed into the English-sounding "gelivable," and "ungelivable," and the French "très guélile."
But it was the word's antonym "bugeili" - meaning dull or boring - that first grabbed wider public attention after it appeared online in May in an episode of a Chinese-dubbed Japanese comic animation.
Chinese netizens have already started selecting the Internet catchphrases of 2010, though the end of the year is still more than a month away. A netizen nicknamed "Red Rouge" posted a list of the Internet catchphrases of 2010 on the Mop Web forum, and the post soon attracted a large number of replies. "Internet catchphrases headed by 'geili' really rock!" another netizen said.

● Developed from Chinese word 给力 (gei li,), the No. 1 buzz word used to comment something.
● Antonyms. ungeilivable (不给力, bu gei li )
