TheCunningStunt · 04-29-2010, 02:45 PM

I would've classed you as a Geordie as well..

Mojo · 04-29-2010, 02:46 PM

Nope. I was born on Wearside, not Tyneside. Im a mackem, not a Geordie.

Can someone explain what these terms mean to me?

Geordie = Newcastle
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.

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.
