I think Karl-Heinz started _geil_ with his 'geiles verjaardagfeestje' and I
gave it another dimension in relation to 'geile grond'.
Neffens de Nl. Van Dale:
geil1 (het ~)
1 [inf.] zaadvocht
2 [inf.] vrouwelijk afscheidingsvocht
geil2 (bn.)
1 [inf.] wellustig

Neffens et Stellingwarfs Woordeboek:
geil I et = oude vruchtbaarheid van grond, door eerdere bemesting
geil bn. = l. in sterke mate vet, te vet, ook van grond: in zeer sterke mate
vet, zwaar bemest 2. al te welig (van bomen, planten) 3. op uitbarsten,
doorbreken staand, vooral m.b.t. de lucht, buien 4. geil m.b.t. seks
geilte de = het welig zijn door te veel bemesting

In Stellingwarf gao'we vaeks de hiele kring rond en fielseteren alleman mit
de verjaordag van die iene persoon:
"Buurman, fielseteerd mit de verjaordag van je buurman."
"Dag meneer De Vries, ok fielseteerd mit Jan zien verjaordag, heur."

Your elderly friend must have made a joke on You!
Sending a birthday postcard to the mother in law of a friend is not common
in The Netherlands.
At least, I've never heard about, only to Your own mother in law.
Mit een vrundelike groet uut Stellingwarf,
