A 'Geordie' is a person from Newcastle, UK. They have been named the nicest in Britain. Famous people such as Cheryl Cole and Joe McElderry are Geordies. Not all people from Newcastle have strong accents, there is a stereotype of Geordies that they are rough, common slobs who nest in council houses and suckle on 'Newcastle Brown Ale' and 'Guiness' all day. This should be ignored, as only the small minority of people from Newcastle are like this, people are like that everywhere, not just in the North East. People are generally well educated, and Gosforth High School is one of the best schools in the North and East.

Get the Geordie mug.A person who is originally from Newcastle, a city in the North East of England, but who also lives anywhere within the Tyneside area. They are known for their very distinctive accent, being die-hard Newcastle United fans and for their ability to consume vast quantities of alcohol. They also known for being quite friendly, approachable and charitable. They are absolutely not to be confused with "Chavs", but this happens frequently as a result of false stereotypes concocted by prejudiced Southerners. According to anyone south of Manchester, Geordies are poorly educated Neanderthals with a severe speech disorder who lives off benefits, gets drunk all day at the tax payers expense, have foul mannerisms, lives only for football and can be found in council flats - which describes Chavs perfectly, but not Geordies (unless they are Geordie Chavs).
Geordies are also known for their mastery in manual labour (i.e. construction, steel and ship building) or engineering. Newcastle was once devoted to ship building and various areas in Tyneside were known for heavy manufacturing and mining. Various world class colleges, universities and cultural venues exist in the Tyneside area today, drawing much tourism and revenue from education. Newcastle University is one of the UK's most highly ranked universities for medicine, mechanic and civil engineering and naval architecture. Geordies like Cheryl Coal, Bobby Robson and Mike Ashley stand as cultural icons.

Get the Geordie Shandy mug.Usually a person who believes they are from the city of Newcastle but are infact from outlining areas such as Gateshead, Hexham and the like. These 'plastic' Geordies tend to believe they are at the top of the social scale but are in fact in the middle of the social security benefit queue. Often found in Netto or more notably Greggs upon where they feed they offspring large quantities of baked pastry goods, children are usually christened "Keegen" or "Bobby" or "Alan" regardless of their sex, this is due to their Mother and Fathers (and in many cases 'Uncle Steve' and Uncle "Jeff" and 'wor Bobbies da") lifelong devotion to Newcastle United, despite never actually being anywhere near the stadium, but the 9 kids are dressed head to foot in Black and White replica kit 7 days a week.
