When I first came [back] to Germany, I lived in the Bahnhof quarter of Frankfurt, where prostitution is legal, and rampant.
The first "street talk" I learned was from sex workers, and one of the first phrases I heard, often, was "bist du geil?", or "are you horny?"
This has led to "geil" being indelibly imprinted into my brain as "horny."
It was only later that I learned that the more common usage is "cool."
😜 When TV commentators say something's "cool," I hear it's "horny."
