I know how you feel Kay. I hate Geordies. Im glad i was born the other side of the river.
|
Bah, you're in the radius. You're a geordie to me :D
edit: I feel another infraction coming.. :(:laughing: |
Reason: Dirty Scottish lip.
|
I would've classed you as a Geordie as well..
|
Nope. I was born on Wearside, not Tyneside. Im a mackem, not a Geordie.
|
Can someone explain what these terms mean to me?
|
Quote:
Mackem = Sunderland Or at least I think so anyway. I've only ever been through the area on the train a few times, so I'm no expert. |
Mackem, never heard that one before.
Don't you support Wigan? I thought you and Bulldog both supported Wigan. If you do, you're such a glory supporter. Should be supporting Sunderland. :p: |
Yeah a Geordie is someone born in Newcastle. A mackem is someone born in Sunderland.
Im fairly sure that the word mackem was born out of the shipyards. A massive part of our industrial history has to do with the shipyards. My grandad used to work on them and so did alot of people up here. We used to make the ships on Wearside in Sunderland and then take them over the Tyne to Newcastle where they would work on them further and fit them out. But because of our accent we used to "mack 'em and tack 'em." EDIT: Me? I dont support Wigan. And im definitely not a Smoggie either. :-P Not even people from Middlesbrough want to support Middlesbrough though. |
Ah, got it. I love how different accents can be over there.

I'm also fully aware Mojo is a Mackem, I just like to wind him up :rolleyes: not as cool as being a Chookter :pimp: |
Ok from here on, for the sake of the ignorant Americans...could you provide a short explanation of any new terms that pop up?
|
Chookter: Someone living in the North of Scotland, or in the middle of nowhere.
|
Thanks...much appreciated. I like learning these kinds of things so I can impress people with my worldliness if it ever comes up in conversation.
