Geordie is the friendliest dialect in Britain and possibly the most confusing for outsiders. "Howay man" can mean almost anything, and "why aye" is the answer to everything.
Newcastle
The gems of local lingo
"After that double shift I'm a proper kipper, can barely keep my eyes open."
"You coming up to Leeds this weekend? Bring a brolly, it’s grim up north. Still, we’ve got proper pies, cracking banter, and pints that won’t have your eyes out."
"Sound, our kid, you coming into town later? I’ve just been paid, so let’s hit the pub for a couple pints and some scran."
"Won a tenner on the scratchies, then the gaffer let me knock off early. I was dead chuffed, heading home like a champ."
"You still coming down the Toon for a pint after work? Whey aye, man, I’ll gan meet you by Central, like, give us five minutes."
