was greasy/greazy > greeze

[Fritz Juengling]

The discussion on greasy/greazy reminds me of a question that I have had for
nearly 25 years. Back in the mid 70's, I remember hearing (really don't know
if I ever used it) the words 'greeze'  (Never saw it spelled) meaning 'eat'
as in "We were hungry and greezed on those burgers."  I think it was really
'greeze on.'  Does anyone else know this word?  Or was this just Portland OR
teenager slang from the mid-70's?
thanks a bunch
