my nephew just finished serving a delectable steak & said you can call it, George! He would hear from his grandfather (my dad) & his uncles use, 'you can call it Charles or George'...i think he's has an idea of when to use it...i know throughout the Caribbean men use it & has to with the former mother country, England. Can anybloody enlighten me some more?
cool

It was always used, im sure, when something was done correctly...the person who did it or someone in the group would utter the phrase. Is it strictly a Caribbean or commonwealth thing & do they use it in England? Imusic, you're in England...ever hear it there?

We used something similar in Berbice
We used ‘Jarge’

Never George or Charles

The expression "real George " is American English meaning of high quality. It is not used in the UK .
