What precisely is a "Geordie?"

[M'Sharak]

Geordie...

Also the name of the band he quit to join AC/DC.

I was gonna apologize for one of our crappiest TV shows inspiring something similar over there, but then I remembered Big Brother, American Idol, Dancing With the Stars, The X Factor, and America's Got Talent. It was time we gave back.

My boyfriend is a Geordie. He tries to say he's not a proper Geordie, as his accent isn't super heavy, but he's hard enough to understand that I'm pretty sure he is wrong.

Sexy.

Thanks for all the responses. I certainly get to meet some interesting folks at work.

Newcastle upon Tyne is a city. Gateshead is a town next door, nothing more.

-There are lots of stories about where the name comes from which you can look up on wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geordie
