Geordies
Northeast English folk
Geordies is the plural of Geordie—a person from Tyneside in northeast England, particularly Newcastle upon Tyne, or the distinctive dialect spoken there.
The accent is immediately recognizable to British ears, with features like "gan" for go and "canny" for good or nice: The Geordies in the pub were friendly.
The term is affectionate, used by locals and outsiders alike.
