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.
Kipper
"After that double shift I'm a proper kipper, can barely keep my eyes open."
It's grim up north
"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."
Bezzy mate
"That’s me bezzy mate, la, proper sound. I’d stand in the chippy queue in the drizzle for her, no moaning, even after she nicked me fags."
Our kid
"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."
Belter
"That last tune was a proper belter, man, everybody in the pub was bellowing the chorus and spilling pints like it was Hogmanay."
