mackem

A Sunderland supporter.
It is derived from something or other to do with the ship building industry with 'we mackem and ye brackem'.
I'm afraid I'm not sure what this means however.

Come on the mackems!

and mackems who are from "sunnerlun" (sunderland - i had the misfortune of being born there, thank god ive now moved south to safety... darlington!) generally charvas, and cant talk normal no matter how hard they try. also they tend to all have the same daily routine...

Never mind the boll*cks about shipbuilding, we invented this term for you. I remember talking to Mackems in the early eighties who'd never heard of the expression.

There's no mystery here, in plain English you say "make and take", in Geordie it's "mek and tek" and in Sunderland you say "mak and tak".
You'd have to be a thick Mackem not to understand that.

Mackem Mammaries

Also see shit tits

There must be something in the water in Sunderland that produces the absolutely worst tits in the country. Some great looking arses but horrible haunting tits

Maybe its the salt in the sea air or maybe its the amount of kids they have or the amount of drugs they do who knows 🤷

Careful I picked up on a Sunderland twang there, she probably has mackem mammaries
