get this straight...
not everyone from the north east is a geordie, and thank the lord for that!
mackem's are generally nice people but get labelled for being scum coz of the few little shits that live here...well you think of any town that doesn't have trash like that in it and your a genius!!
you can actually understand them though unlike those geordie scum who cant speak a word of english.

a person who seems to be rather hated for no apparent reason by everyone.
i have lived in london all my life and could be discustingly arrogant about them like everyone else. luckily, having a mackem dad and half a mackem family, i have learnt im not supirior to everyone else just cos where i live is so much better.
a mackem is also a loyal and the best football fan following perhaps the shittest team in history. he or she IS also caught up on the fact that we "beat the scum 2-1" a long time ago, but hey, its the only bit of victory we've had since the glorious 1-0 fa cup final against leeds in 1973. (we're still caught up on that as well)
"shearer is a wanker, he wears a wankers hat, he plays for scum united, he is a fucking twat"

As inhabitants of the largest City in the North-East, we have the right to boast over our smaller, inferior neighbours. We support Sunderland who are currently the only North-East side to play in the Premier League, and have recently been made one of the richest teams in England due to our takeover. We also beat Newcastle in the English Civil War, whereby the (Jawwwwdeeez. Correct term: Geordies), have became bitter and obsessed with their superior neighbour. Mackems can also be understood a lot easier by outsiders as opposed to geordies, who speak similarly to apes, often giving grunt noises as they go to collect their dole money that they have sat all week for in the house. Anyone who has read the Viz magazine will realise Biffa Bacon is your typical Geordie.
Mackems are easier to understand as follows:

Newcastle fan 1: Wor al' is deein' shite like isn't he?
Newcastle fan 2: Divven' stort with big al' like or al' smash ya mooth in bonny lad.

Sunderland fan 1: Alreet mate, what do you think of our prosperous Premiership side?
Sunderland fan 2: Mint mate, feel sorry for those Geordies next season havin' to travel to Plymouth and stuff.
Sunderland fan 1: Serves those bastards right for being cocky last time we went down.

Bunch of six fingered mongs who believe they are actually relevant, they are from the shitest place in England, known as Sunderland, they often call themselves Geordies to actually be relevant when meeting fellows British people.
Person 1: "I see your mate has six fingers and married his little sister, is he a Mackem?"

Person 2: "Aye unfortunately"

One of the saddest, most idiotic and pathetic people ever to have walked the earth, the mackem still harps on about 2-1 victories over their far more illustrious and infinitely cleaner neighbours. The average mackem is obsessed with Newcastle and has a mouth the size of the tyne tunnel, which is unfortunate since being relegated as the worst team in Premiership history should have been the catalyst for keeping the aformentioned big mouth FIRMLY SHUT
that streaker is a thick mackem wanker

the shame of the English, in reality just twats with a deadbeat town. Oh yeah, the football team is shite too. Hell, even they admit that. Yeah, Sunderland is a sink hole, do your best to avoid it.
