Geordie

A person from the North East of England sometime described as 'Scotsmen with there brains kicked out' the people from this area defy this label with there friendly, gregacious natures.

The local drink is the kickass Newcastle Brown Ale, or Nooky Broown. After several pint's of this brew a Geordie will start to sing traditional songs like Lambton Worm with its references to Saint George slaying the dragon (worm).

If you are from the South of England (Anywhere further South than Scarbourough counts)and misbehave a Geordie may gently admonish you with the local reprimand of laying the 'heed' on you.

Geordies enjoy supporting the local football team Newcastle United also known as the Toon armie or the Magpies.

While the accent is a little difficult to understand at first, a visit to Geordieland is well worth the effort.

Sometimes individuals from this area when living in the South of England are knicknamed Geordie.
