Geordie (/ˈdʒɔdi/) is a term what generally refers to a person from the Tyneside[1] region in northeast England, in particular the city of Newcastle and the adjacent areas, or to the dialect of English spoken by these people.
Background
When referring to the people, as opposed to the dialect, a definition of a Geordie is "a native or inhabitant of Newcastle upon Tyne, England, or its environs",[2] so this can include North Tyneside (Wallsend, North Shields, Whitley Bay) (Walker), South Tyneside (Jarrow - such as the use in Alan Price's "Jarrow Song",[3] Hebburn, South Shields, Boldon), Gateshead such as the use in the Blaydon Races song,[4]Newcastle such as the use in the Blaydon Races song,[5] etc. akin to the way a Cockney is defined as "someone born within hearing distance of the Bow bells." As the Cockney definition has been taken to mean within three miles of the church of St Mary-le-Bow on Cheapside, the Geordie definition, by some, has been taken to mean only Tyneside.[6][7] Another interpretation includes former areas of County Durham and Northumberland, including Ryton, Washington, etc. It must be noted that this particular definition of around the Tyne communities was not always the case, as Geordie has been documented for at least 180 to 240 years as meaning the whole of the North East of England. (As referenced in Camden Hotten, John (1869). The Slang Dictionary, Or Vulgar Words, Street Phrases And Fast Expressions of High and Low Society. John Camden Hotten. p. 142. "Geordie, general term in Northumberland and Durham for a pitman, or coal-miner. Origin not known; the term has been in use more than a century."

(help).[8] The book was reprinted in 2004.[9] However in recent times this definition can be offensive to some from the Sunderland region.[10]
In recent times "Geordie", through Sky TV, and modern media, has sometimes been used to refer to a supporter of Newcastle United football club.[11]
Other Northern English dialects include:
- Cumbrian dialect
- Mackem (spoken in Sunderland and acrossWearside)
- Northumbrian (spoken in Northumberland, similar to Geordie)
- Pitmatic (spoken in many Durham and Northumberland mining communities).
- Potteries (spoken in Stoke On Trent)
- Scouse (spoken in Merseyside)
- Yorkshire and Lancashire dialect both vary across of the counties, and merge with each other in the border areas.
Derivation of the term
A number of rival theories explain how the term came about, though all accept that it derives from a familiar diminutive form of the name "George,"[12] with George (called Geordie, but written George) once being the most popular eldest son's name in families in the north east of England.[13]
One explanation is that it was established during the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745. The Jacobites declared that the natives of Newcastle were staunch supporters of the Hanoverian kings, in particular of George II during the 1745 rebellion. This contrasted with rural Northumbria, which largely supported the Jacobite cause. If true, the term may have derived from a popular anti-Hanoverian song ("Cam ye ower frae France?"[14]), which calls the first Hanoverian king "Geordie Whelps", meaning "George the Guelph".
Another explanation for the name is that local miners in the north east of England used "Geordie" safety lamps, designed by George Stephenson[15] in 1815, rather than the "Davy lamps" designed by Humphry Davy which were used in other mining communities.
Using the chronological order of two John Trotter Brockett books:
1. Brockett, John Trotter (1829). A Glossary Of North Country Words In Use With Their Etymology And Affinity To Other Languages And Occasional Notices Of local Customs And Popular Superstitions. E. Charnley. pp. page 131. GEORDIE, George-a very common name among the pitmen. "How ! Geordie man ! how is't"

Geordie was given to North East pit men, later Brockett acknowledges the pitmen christened their Stephenson lamp ‘Geordie’.[16][17]
Wales[18] also predates the Oxford English Dictionary, she observes that "Geordy" and "Geordie" was a common name given to pit-men in ballads and songs of the region, noting that one such turns up as early as 1793. It occurs in the titles of two songs by song-writer Joe Wilson (1841–1875): Geordy, Haud the Bairn and Keep your Feet Still, Geordie. Citing such examples as the song Geordy Black written by Rowland Harrison of Gateshead, she contends that, as a consequence of popular culture, the miner and the keelman had become icons of the region in the 19th century, and "Geordie" was a label that "affectionately and proudly reflected this", replacing the earlier ballad emblem, the figure of Bob Crankie.
Newcastle publisher Frank Graham's Geordie Dictionary states:
- "The origin of the word Geordie has been a matter of much discussion and controversy. All the explanations are fanciful and not a single piece of genuine evidence has ever been produced."
In Graham's many years of research, the earliest record he has found of the terms use was in 1823 by local comedian, Billy Purvis. Purvis had set up a booth at the Newcastle Races on the Town Moor. In an angry tirade against a rival showman, who had hired a young pitman called Tom Johnson to dress as a clown, Billy cried out to the clown:
- "Ah man, wee but a feul wad hae sold off his furnitor and left his wife. Noo, yor a fair doon reet feul, not an artificial feul like Billy Purvis! Thous a real Geordie! gan man an hide thysel! gan an' get thy picks agyen. Thou may de for the city, but never for the west end o' wor toon."[19]
- (Rough translation: "Oh man, who but a fool would have sold off his furniture and left his wife? Now, you're a fair downright fool, not an artificial fool like Billy Purvis! You're a real Geordie! Go, man, and hide yourself! Go and get your pick (axes) again. You may do for the city, but never for the west end of our town!")

Geographical coverage
Although the dialects of North East of England were often grouped together as Geordie[20] in modern times this is incorrect. However, this usage is often confined to people from other parts of the United Kingdom.
People from Sunderland have been termed Mackems in recent generations. However, the earliest known recorded use of the term found by the Oxford English Dictionary occurred as late as 1990.[21]
Geordie dialect
Vocabulary
Geordie also has a large amount of vocabulary not heard elsewhere in England, though some are shared with (or similar to) Scots. Words still in common use today include:
- alreet (/'a:lri:t/ a variation on alright
- cannit 'can not'
- canny for "pleasant" (the Scottish use of canny is often somewhat less flattering), or to mean 'very'. Someone could therefore be 'canny canny'.
- geet for "very", also *muckle (used more in Northumberland)
- hyem for "home"
- deeky for "look at"
- kets for "sweets/treats"
- knaa for "to know/know"
- divint for "don't"/
- bairn/grandbairn for "child/grandchild"
- hacky for "dirty"
- gan for "to go/go"
- hoy for "to throw"[22]
- toon for "Town"
- nettie|bog for "toilet"
- naa for "no"
- ayee|yerr for "yes"
- neb for "nose" (nebby=nosey)
- banter for "chat/gossip"
- clart for "mud" as in "there's clarts on yar boots"
- hadaway for "get away"
- hinny a term of endearment - "Honey"[23]
- haad for "hold/ ie keep a hadd/ keep a hold/ had yer gob/ keep quiet/ that polite little notice in the parks aboot keepin' yor dog on a lead ye cud hev Keep A-Hadden Yor Dog[24]
- divvie for "stupid person"
- tab for "cigarette"
- chor "to steal"
- chiv for "knife"
- wor for "our", used mainly in the context of wor kid, meaning 'friend', ones sibling or literally 'our kid'. Used primarily to denote a family member.
- nowt for "nothing"[25]
Howay or Haway is broadly comparable to the invocation "Come on!" or the French "Allez!" ("Go on!"), "Howay" and "Haway" being the geordie and 'mackem' derivatives of the same word, respectively. Examples of common use include Howay man! or Haway man!, meaning "come on" or "hurry up", Howay the lads! or Haway the lads! as a term of encouragement for a sports team for example, or Ho'way!? (with stress on the second syllable) expressing incredulity or disbelief.[26] The literal opposite of this word is "Haddaway" (go away), which is not as popular as Howay, but has found frequent use in the phrase "Haddaway an' shite" (Tom Hadaway, Figure 5.2 Haddaway an' shite; ’Cursing like sleet blackening the buds, raging at the monk of Jarrow scribbling his morality and judgement into a book.’[27]).
Divvie or divvy seems to come from the Co-op dividend,[28] or from the two Davy lamps (the more dangerous explosive Scotch Davy[29] used in 1850, commission disapproved of its use in 1886. (inventor not known, and nicknamed Scotch Davy probably given by miners after the Davy lamp was made perhaps by north east miners who used the Stephenson Lamp[30][31]), and the later better designed Davy designed by Humphrey Davy also called the Divvy.[32]) As in a north east miner saying ‘Marra, ye keep way from me if ye usin a divvy.' It seems the word divvie then translated to daft lad/lass. Perhaps coming from the fact you’d be seen as foolish going down a mine with a Scotch Divvy when there are safer lamps out, like the Geordie, or the Davy.
The geordie word netty, meaning a toilet[33] or bathroom came from the Roman slang found on Hadrians Wall which later became gabinetto in Italian.(Such as these articles about the Westoe Netty, the subject of a famous painting from Bob Olley[34][35])
A poem, called ‘YAM’ narrated by author Douglas Kew, demonstrates the usage of a lot of Geordie words[36][37]
Geordie in the media
In recent times, the Geordie dialect has featured prominently in the British media. Note however, that although the dialect appears, the dialect is toned down for comprehension of the general (non-Northumbrian) public. Television presenters such as Ant and Dec are now happy to use their natural dialect on air. Marcus Bentley, the commentator on the UK edition of Big Brother, is often perceived by southerners to have a Geordie dialect. However, he grew up in Stockton on Tees. Brendan Foster and Sid Waddell have both worked as television sports commentators.
The dialect was also popularized by the comic magazine Viz, where the dialect itself is often conveyed phonetically by unusual spellings within the comic strips. Viz magazine itself was founded on Tyneside by two local males, Chris Donald and his brother Simon.
The Steve Coogan-helmed BBC comedy I'm Alan Partridge featured a Geordie named Michael (Simon Greenall) as the primary supporting character and de facto best friend of the eponymous hero, despite Partridge's typically snobbish and patronizing demeanor sinking to new lows when referring to Michael (at one point referring to him as 'just the Work Geordie').
Mike Neville and George House (aka Jarge Hoose), presenters of the BBC local news program Look North, in the 1960s and 1970s, not only incorporated Geordie into the show, albeit usually in comedy pieces pointing up the gulf between ordinary Geordies and officials speaking Standard English, but were responsible for a series of recordings, beginning with Larn Yersel' Geordie[38] which attempted, not always seriously, to bring the Geordie dialect to the rest of England.
The mastermind behind Larn Yersel' Geordie was local humorist Scott Dobson,[39] who wrote several booklets on the theme in the early 1970s, including History o' the Geordies,[40] Advanced Geordie Palaver,[41][42] The Geordie Joke Book (with Dick Irwin)[43] and The Little Broon Book (Bringing out The New Little Broon Book in 1990[44]).
The Jocks and the Geordies was a Dandy comic strip running from 1975 to the early 1990s.
In the lyrics of the song "Sailing to Philadelphia" by Mark Knopfler, Jeremiah Dixon describes himself as a "Geordie boy. Jeremiah Dixon, surveyor of the Mason-Dixon line"[45]
Dorphy, real name Dorothy Samuelson-Sandvid, was a noted geordie dialect writer who once wrote for the South Shields Gazette.[46][47][48][49][50]
Auf Wiedersehen, Pet was a popular fictional British comedy-drama series about a group of seven British migrant construction workers:[51][52] Wayne, Dennis, Oz, Bomber, Barry, Neville and Moxey, who, in Series 1, are living and working on a German building site. Three of the seven were Geordies. Dennis Patterson (played by Tim Healy) comes from Birtley Co. Durham;[53] Leonard "Oz" Osborne (played by Jimmy Nail) comes from Gateshead;[54] and Neville Hope (played by Kevin Whately) comes from North Shields.[55]
