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.

Oooh you're a Dunderland fan aren't you? I get confused with members and who they support, except for right-track.

Smoggie is a term for people from Middlesbrough. In this part of the country there are 3 rivers, the Tyne, Wear and Tees in close proximity to one another. Middlesbrough is on Teeside. The term Smoggie refers to the chemical plants in the area and the emissions from them, or smog.

My favourite local expression is Monkey hanger for those in Darlington,

Monkey hanger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oh man...that is my new favorite term. The poor monkey...

I have a little nicknames for teams/players, no idea why.
