For example Geordies in the same way as the Anglo-Saxons use the word `WIFE’ as term for a woman whether she is married or not, while the Anglo-Saxon word ALD (OLD) is similar to the Geordie (AAD). Indeed many old words and phrases commonly used in the old works of Chaucer and Shakespeare which are no longer used in other parts of Britain have survived as common usage in the North East.Of course some Geordie words are of more recent origin or are corruptions or words borrowed from other regions, but often the similarities between Anglo-Saxon and Geordie can be quite surprising. Another Hull word for a Miser or "Marzer" is a "Nip Cheese" and someone who is a fool is called "Poonoad". Several of the ‘Geordies’ described are not resident in Tyneside and include ‘Geordies’ from the mining district north east of Durham city, the Herrington area of Sunderland and Castle Eden on the Durham coast. Peer pressure at school dictated how we all spoke, I never wanted to appear different in any way from my fellow school friends.However, on leaving school I made a mental decision, my speech would be 'My accent has served me well in many ways, with building my confidence, different 'people' jobs, and the most noticeable, when Eric, my husband arrived for the first time in England from Lebanon, to Hull my hometown.Eric's English was good when he arrived here, learnt in America/Canada and spoken fluently daily.Unfortunately for him, all over the UK different accents and dialects can be heard, but Hull is the exception, we have a language of our own. Other Geordie words of Anglo Saxon origin include Axe (ask) from the Anglo-Saxon Acsian, Burn meaning stream, Hoppings meaning fayre and Gan which is the Geordie and Anglo saxon word meaning to go.The unique way in which Geordies and Northumbrians pronounce certain words is also often Anglo-Saxon in origin. The turbulent border history of this region was also a major factor in discouraging outside influence although some Viking words have crept into the local dialect from the neighbouring Viking settled areas of Yorkshire, South Durham and Cumbria.The Anglo-Saxon `Northumbrian’ dialects of North Eastern England which we have just discussed take a number of forms which are often loosely termed `Geordie’ but technically a Geordie can only be a native of those parts of Northumberland and Durham known as Tyneside.
I saw a different PA than I'd seen The granted land may well have been somewhere in the area we now call Tyneside.At first the Anglo-Saxons were effective in the task for which they were employed but the Ancient Britons soon came to regret the employment of these foreign mercenaries who saw an opportunity for a long-term colonisation and invasion of Britain.
Dobson, writing in 1973, stated that his grandmother, who was from Byker still thought that miners were the true Geordies.There was however one notable exception to the 19th century use of the term ‘Geordie’ for pitmen that is recorded by the Durham historian Fordyce writing in the 1850s.
Laura Jayne, good to see you, when I read your comment I could hear your accent in your words, nice :-). A guy standing nearby at the bar said to him "What part of Hull do you come from?"
