There are lots of myths and misunderstandings about what a Geordie is and where the term came from. Many of which you will see in the comment’s below.

If you speak like a Geordie Then that's good enough for me! Fucking love-em all. Best people you'll ever meet & proper down to earth folk. Love From IRELAND & LANCASHIRE.

I was surprised to see how many people had no idea.

Down here in London, they say a Geordie is anyone from NE England who talks in a way that cannot be understood.

Seen a big pink floyd fan in there

Meadowell that's where am from remember the riots in 1991

Born in the RVI and lived all my life in Cramlington. Always classed myself as a Geordie.

I'm not a Geordie 😢, I come from a Geordie father with all my Uncles and aunts and nanna being Geordies and grandad was from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. I absolutely love the North East of England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. As well as I do like the Geordies but like anywhere there's good and bad. What I like about the Geordies is they notice you and actually talk to you and I'm from London and that's like a criminal offence there 😂. I didn't realise how much of what me and my friends call 'London attitude' I had until I came to the North East to visit. This old lady said 'Eee it's cold today' on the metro once and I stood there shocked thinking 'She can't possibly be talking to me' I replied 'It is absolutely freezing' and then thought 'OMG people talk to you here, this is new information, and I'm here for it' 😂. I've made more friends in Newcastle than I have in London. I can't believe how visiting Newcastle regularly helped me accept that it's okay to talk to people and that people aren't out to get you.

I was born where the Civic Centre now stands. I'm a geordie, and like the guy in the video I too am a geordie before I'm English....now if I'm proud and treasure the fact I'm English that should tell you how I feel about being a geordie and I imagine many geordie's feel the same. Loved hearing peoples thoughts 👍

A true Geordie is Born in sight of the Tyne, and a the term Geordie is because the locals supported King George in the times of the Jacobite uprising !

Whey I man am a Geordie. I was born in Newcastle and I speak the sweet Geordie twang. Howay the lads.

I'm from Cape Town South Africa and I'm not a Geordie but a Newcastle supporter.

Born in Consett until 18 .

You pick some great characters to answer your question Eddie....

This is amazing

Great breakfast viewing this side of the pond. You are fast becoming one of them geordie legends.

Born in Ashington lived in newcastle most of my life brilliant video

Great video Eddy!

I was born in Princess Mary Maternity Hospital in Jesmond and brought up in Heaton and even though I left Newcastle in 1989 for Devon I’ll always be a Geordie and I still haven’t really lost my accent. I love local history and did it as a subject at Benfield School. So keep up the great work and I love your videos.👍
