Geordie
Geordie (/ˈdʒɔːrdi/ JOR-dee) is an English dialect spoken in the Tyneside area of North East England,[1][2][3][4][5] especially connected with Newcastle upon Tyne,[4][5][6] and sometimes known in linguistics as Tyneside English or Newcastle English. The Geordie dialect and identity are primarily associated with a working-class background.[7] A 2008 newspaper survey found the Geordie accent to be perceived as the "most attractive in England" among the British public.[8]
Geordie is also a nickname for a resident of this same region,[9] though there are different definitions of what constitutes a Geordie, and not everyone from the North East identifies as such.[10][11] Furthermore, a Geordie can mean a supporter of the football club Newcastle United.[12] Geordie Schooner glass was traditionally used to serve Newcastle Brown Ale.[13]
