Have you fallen for a Geordie Lad?
Rookie Scribe
I did indeed! But I had the whole star trek thought the first time he called himself a Geordie! He is my long distance heart!

Quote by MadameMollyWhen I want a challenge I watch Hebburn, though my wife's accent is pretty close. She's from less than an hour away.
I took it as a personal challenge, and I worked hard at that.I like listening to my friend talk, especially when he really gets going. I guess it's the same with me, I have a slight southern accent that gets stronger at certain times or if I'm talking to certain people.
My wife still has problems sometimes knowing what some people here in Georgia are saying.

I can only imagine she does at times. My husband is only from up north and I still get the, "What was that?"
I love different accents and learning new slang.
I have a new story out! Wish You Were Here A teasing sub may I have pushed too far, but the punishment is oh so sweet.

From my understanding, the most plausible theory is that it comes from a derogatory slang given to the people of Newcastle by the Scottish Jacobites in the 1745 Rebellion. The supporters of King George (Geordie) II in Newcastle stood up against them, and earned themselves the name Geordies. The term Geordie is used for natives of Newcastle only, and they are very proud of it. There is a ton of amazing history stories related to that area.
Then again, it could be because of George (Geordie) Stephenson. He was a mining and railway engineer who came from the north east.
Sorry, I'm a history nerd.
The first recorded use of the word was in the 1780's. Twa Dogs by Robbie Burns, as a Scottish diminutive of George.
Sailors during the 19th century referred to boats and seamen from Newcastle as Geordies And those from Sunderland as Jammies. A pretty clear indication of the Jacobite explanation, imho.

Only from the war. It's a Geordie term and mainly used in football parlance.
Geordie is a term used by the whole of the UK. If you don't follow football or come from the Northeast you probably have never heard of the term.

I think it's so cool that guys from a certain city/area in the UK have a catchy name, like "Geordie Lad". So much better than "dude from Newcastle." We have names for people from certain places here in the US, but typically they aren't very nice.

No offense intended to any one here from Massachusetts, I know you all have names for us "classy" New Yorkers too, HAHA.

Tell me about it lol I learned in the past couple years that people in Illinois are referred to by many as F.I.Bs (fucking Illinois bastards)
**it's okay, i'm from Illinois haha**
I've never fallen for a Geordie lad though, no.
