- Geordie () generally refers to a person from the Tyneside region in
northeast England, in particular the city of Newcastle and the adjacent
areas, or to the dialect of English spoken by these people.
Background When referring to the people, as opposed to the dialect, a
definition of a Geordie is "a native or inhabitant of Newcastle upon Tyne,
England, or its
environs",http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/geordie?r=75 so this can
include North Tyneside (Wallsend, North Shields, Whitley Bay) (Walker),
South Tyneside (Jarrow - such as the use in Alan Price's 'Jarrow Song' ,
Hebburn, South Shields, Boldon), Gateshead such as the use in the Blaydon
Races song ,Newcastle such as the use in the Blaydon Races song , etc. akin
to the way a Cockney is defined as "someone born within hearing distance of
the Bow bells." As the Cockney definition has been taken to mean within
three miles of the church
