Hi everyone! Debbie is doing great, enjoying loads of Ice Cream! We hope you enjoy this episode with Debbie's Sister! We had a lot of fun laughing at how bad we were trying to guess these! We hope you will enjoy too! Love the Geordie accent or is it dialect? 🤔 Please drop us a 👍🏻
That was great Ladies. You should watch "30 UK Accents" on RUclips.There are 100 different accents here, some different only 20 miles away.:)
NEWCASTLE? They have recently been bought as a Football Club by the Worl's richest Owners who are so rich that they have more money than the rest of the other Top 10 Richest Owners COMBINED:)
Famous geordies. Brian Johnson/ acdc, the animals, dire straits and sting.
@@neilgayleard3842 Yes,of course but don't say that to another Geordie as your real heroes are Jackie Milburn/Alan Shearer and Bobby Robson and,maybe,one day Eddie Howe. I sincerely hope so:)
True. But it's just context for people who wouldn't know that.
Bubble is cry if you didn't get it.
As a Geordie myself, you've done fairly well. Don't feel bad, most of Britain doesn't understand us in full flow. Gan canny pets
I always get asked what part of Wales I'm from 😂 it's even worse if you get 2 geordies together we talk pretty fast, making people very confused 😂
I'm a Geordie, from Newcastle. Howay can mean hurry up, but it can also be used in place of don't be silly or when you don't believe someone. Loved the video!
"Come on" is a good equivalent.
I had a school friend who was a Geordie, and Howay can also mean "I DO believe you, but you've really surprised me with that"
@@robertwilloughby8050 it doesn't lmao
Excellent point, Caspian!
I'm also a Geordie and find it difficult to understand her on the left.
My brother in law is a Geordie and I can honestly say that i have never laughed harder than I did watching him trying to get Alexa to understand him.
Half the time I give up with Alex she never fucking understands me
Hew! Alexaaaahhhhrrr
amazon needs to sort it out all i want is me light on or off ,most anger indusin thing ever
Loved this, being a Geordie, you might not understand us, but we are very friendly and welcoming.
They arent explaining things very well, bubble actually means cry
On the hoy means going for a night out drinking
You were right do as your told
TWOC is an offence relating to car theft Take Without Owners Consent, it's now used to described theft generally
In the North of England you have alot of Scandinavian influence from old Norse that mixed with Old English during Danelaw / Viking invasions.
true like we say Thursday but it was actually Thor's day (Thor being the Norse god of thunder) we also have a lot of Roman words still in UK,
That's true but less so in the most northerly counties of England. Although the Vikings had control of these northern areas, there was comparatively little settlement by the Vikings north of the River Tees as can be seen from place names. Hence the Geordie dialect and accent are much less influenced by Viking speech and language than Yorkshire, for example, which may explain why they are very noticeably different from each other.
Ye gannan back a bit there mind.
I was always told Newcastle or Pons Aelius wasn't under danelaw
@@Paul-yc5dc Wasn't there an Angle administration of the northern portion of Northumbria between the Forth and the Tees based at Bamburgh throughout the Danish occupation, one which quite possibly accepted the Danish overlordship of York at various times but was not settled by Vikings?
I read that Pons Aelius/Newcastle upon Tyne was known as Monkchester during the early middle ages. So far as I know, it never had a Viking name (or any other place in the area that I know of).
I’m a Geordie and my favourite thing in the whole world is watching people react to the accent
I’m a 60 year old Geordie by birth and through life and even I get lost with the accent sometimes. However, ya both did canny (good) and are alreet (alright or ok) in my book pet
When I heard you saying you were going to try to guess the expressions I was already laughing because it's equivalent to me trying to guess the language of a lost hill tribe in Nagar land.
🤣😂
An ex colleague and his wife moved from London to Newcastle approx 6 years ago and still have trouble understanding....Geordies are v friendly and welcoming and would hate it if they were any different. Their wonderful accents are part of our culture and something to be proud of. 😊
Another vote here for giving "Auf Weidershen, Pet" a try: you'll get Geordie, Scouse, West Country, Brummie and Londoner in one show.
Oh yes. Brilliant.
Im from Newcastle and had to teach myself to speak slowly when not in north east as we do talk at 100 miles an hour.
I use the word Doylem all the time especially playing games online. 😃
I'm a Geordie and I've never heard of walla
Me neither 🤔
Only dole walla 😂
Glad you said that. It means big apparently. Geet walla means really big. I found this pair of Geordies a little bit annoying to be honest. Trying too hard to be funny geordies rather than just being normal.
Geordie here. Thoroughly enjoyed your video. Be proud, you got dee as yer telt absolutely right. It's often hard for people from the uk yet alone those from the usa to follow the accent.
Thank you ❤️ 😊
Also you know far off when you mentioned a Caribbean hint to our accent as many will joke that a geordie saying 'beer can' sounds exactly as a jamaican saying 'bacon'
I'm from Northumberland & once whilst on holiday in the Caribbean I was told ' Ya taak like a local'.
When President Carter visited Newcastle in May 1977 he discovered that a little Geordie goes a long way. Smiling, he got a rousing welcome at the airport and in the city from crowds who had come to see him, waving both the Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes. In front of 20,000 people, Mr Carter opened a speech with an unexpected and very welcome Geordie phrase: “Howay the lads" (a popular chant among many Geordie Newcastle United Football Club fans) The crowd cheered loudly!
I remember that quite well. He even went up the street where I lived on his way to the airport.
You don't, he said HAWAY THE LADS.@@Zooumberg
He didn't he said HAWAY THE LADS. Typical "geordie" twisting the facts again. The speech is still available on BBC archives.
@@apriliatuono2056 What, I never mentioned the Haway the lads, I said I remember him going up the street where I lived. The street was Springfield Road, which is on the way to the airport.
remember that event
Geet walla - is really big, enormous = There was a geet walla queue at Tesco's. Love the Geordie accent!
also, words are constantly evolving, I rarely hear “ganzee” for jumper/pullover as this word seems to have died off a bit & only heard by older people, though I did see a clothes shop in the Caribbean called Ganzee😂 geet walla seems to be replaced by Muckle these days probably due to people travelling around a lot more, I worked in Alnwick in north Northumberland & they had shared words & some unique Northumbrian words I hadn’t heard like “jugle “ for dog ( sorry, not sure of spelling) but they did use muckle👍
When I was growing up in Newcastle, 'geet' was used in the same way as 'really', - as emphasis. So 'geet big' or 'geet small'.
@@shirleymoffat3338it’s still used that way. That pizza is geet big etc.
haha, i was born in iceland, but i grew up in the north east of england! there are so many different accents within walking distance! big love to all people :)
I'm from England. Born and bred. Even I needed subtitles. Great vid.
Thank you 😊
As a Geordie i obviously understand all that was said, but, the subtitles were miles out lol, seems like even they cannot understand us :)
I really am not surprised by your difficulties. Apart from some Scottish accents, it's the hardest British accent. I'm used to quite a range, but even I have serious problems with Geordie. And my mother came from East Yorkshire, which is not far away!
I used to work for the Department of Social Security, and their biggest office was in Newcastle-on Tyne, and in the course of my job, I used to have to ring them. We didn't always understand each other...
Geordies also have a quirky sense of humour which isn't always easy to pick up. Geordie is very nearly another language.
Did you notice the rude reference to Sunderland? The two cities have long been rivals.
Hi both don’t worry girls your holding up well on this. You mention that the accents in the UK are very concentrated in small areas around the country, well I believe it comes from a big history of serfdoms and villages. All of the population historically stayed in one place over the centuries, not moving out from their village in only exceptional circumstances so all the accents of the lower classes had a chance to coalesce where they were. In recent times because of the two world wars and the more mobile population the accents have been diluted quite a lot so I’ve notice a marked softening of the accents. This contrasts to the USA dynamic of most people importing their accents from mostly UK and other European countries mixing all the inflowing accents up to a not so extreme concentration. Obviously you have exceptions with area accents forming as in the Southern, Texan and close nit city based accents. For myself I came from the midlands of the UK south of Birmingham as portrayed in Peaky blinders on TV. In that relatively small area (20 or 30 square miles ) called the Black Country (because that area was used famously to manufacture the chains for the ships of the British Navy and almost all the houses in the area had small forges in the bag yard causing black coal smoke everywhere) when a prominent linguist in the 19century recorded the accents he found at least 10 distinct and separate accents in that area alone, all to do with non moving populace. So I have a Black Country accent (based around Dudley) and not a Brumie accent ( based around Birmingham)
Should have read this first, far better an explanation.
Brilliant explanation ❤️
As a Geordie the accent is just part of who we are, just like Scouse and other regions. It never leaves you, the minute you open your mouth and it comes out. I lived down south for many years, it became softer but still baffled most people, mainly due the speed we talk. I now live in Australia which presents another challenge. Once a Geordie always a Geordie we are also one of the friendliness people in the UK, 13 miles down the road the mackems have a similar accent, but not Geordie
l think Mackems are slightly easier to understand.
@@lesjames5191 smaller vocabulary restricted to FTM 😃 😊
Born & bred Geordie from Byker but have been in Australia since I was 14 (I'm now 67). Understood every word they said. When I first went to school here, I had to write down the answer when the teachers asked me a question.
@@jameswilliamtaylor-hu9ex it never leaves you, can slip straight back into when talking to another tribe member or get excited 😊
Very funny. Lisa did brilliant standing in for Debbie.
A job only a sister could! ❤️
That was so funny, don’t worry about not understanding, I don’t either. Geordie people are lovely and it’s one of my favourite accents. Lisa did great and yes please do some more. I hope Debbie better soon. x
Hi everybody, I'm from Middlesbrough which is an hour down the road from Newcastle and we struggle to understand them lol great vid as always x
Thanks Danny ❤️
Haha I’m from Middlesbrough and live 5 miles out of Newcastle in a town in Northumberland and don’t have a clue what they say! I only come across people with this broad accent when I go into the city Center luckily. Most Geordies don’t talk like this from my experience.
As a Geordie myself, I still remember the training I got before working in a call centre years ago. It's simply said to talk slower because Geordie is a very compressed accent. This often makes us easier to understand by others.
I rather like Al Murray's take on call centres.
He is talking about India or 118dia as he calls it.
As the Geordies wanted too much money.
I'm a Brit who has lived in a few counties in the UK but STILL cannot understand Geordie 😂😂. I remember watching the Graham Norton Show and there were 3 Brits already on stage - one a Geordie, one from Liverpool and the other from Scotland - when a famous American actor came on. After a few minutes of banter Graham asked the American if he understood them. The perplexed guy said he hadn't understood one word and was about to ask why and what foreign languages they were speaking in!!! Despite the Politically Correct brigade trying to get it forcibly stopped, the familiar use of 'pet' or 'love' towards those they don't know has mostly failed. I personally greet everyone with the words, "hello love, how are you". 'Bubble' was crying - usually said as 'stop bubbling'. Hi Lisa 👋 you did a great job standing in for Debbie. You were right Natasha!!! 👏👏👏 Do as your told was ✔
What are you saying? who is the Politically Correct brigade? 🤔
It was an absolute joy to watch you working your way through this video! I left Newcastle in 1982 when I joined the Army. I am proud to have retained the accent and the 'patios'! Wherever I have been in the world, people's faces light up when they hear the accent. I was once in a bar in Kathmandu, a bloke at the bar recognised my accent and asked where I was from, I said 'Newcastle' and he said he knew that, but where about in Newcastle. Long story short, he had lived at the end of the road I lived when he was a student at Newcastle University. Obvs, we had a few bevvies and laughs. Heading back home for Christmas to see me Mam. Ha'way the Lads! Guys, if you make it to the UK in the future, get up there.❤
Great show Ladies, I’m from the north of England, Manchester, and we English haven’t got a clue what the Geordie’s are on about 😂😂
Gan canny man wa alreet up here ye knaa
@@daverutherford6401 yes pal you are that’s for sure, as a kid we used to go to a place called Whitley Bay for holidays, one of my best friends is from South Shields.. One of my biggest mistakes in life was having a session on Newcastle Brown wit a few Geordies, never again 🍻
@@christownsend2399 Yeah Whitley Bay is a canny place i'm often there to see the Seals at St Mary's Lighthouse ;)
Hell I’m a Geordie but most Geordies don’t talk with all these expressions all the time. The main thing is the accent that is fast and friendly. Pet and man are used a lot at the end of sentencing a bit like emphasis on friendly dear or love. A lot of English local words come from hundreds of years of invasions from foreign languages being adapted to our language. Where I live part of the town name comes from Anglo Saxon meaning. So we see it all over the country funny local words and unusual sayings they are just part of our heritage.
Geordie here too. I know what they all are and I could use them but rarely do these days.
Rarely hear geet walla used pet yes all the bloody time
_"...are used a lot at the end of sentencing..."_
You make it sound like we're all up in court all the time 🤣
@@CorkyMcButterpants 😂😂
North/south shields for instance.
I’m a Geordie and if you come to my part of the country you may need a translator lol ❤️🇬🇧
Great to meet Debbie's sister, Lisa!! She seems like a funny gal and I thought that she did a great job!! I hope she comes back on every so often!
Hi i am a proud Geordie and i love watching people teact to my accent clad you like it
Meant glad
👋 hello Lisa 👋
good video , them chaps was funny!
a nice bit of slang i and other use is "sound" meaning , good , or alright , "hows it going bill? ---bill "yeah I'm sound mate"
English people have trouble with Geordie, used to work with a lady at work, when she was going at full steam, used to say “Marie calm down then I may understand you.
So it’s just not you.
I live around 100 miles north of Newcastle and I can understand some of the language but not all. I love the Newcastle language and attitudes.
My advice to anyone having difficulty with the Geordie accent is to think Swedish. The accent comes from the large amount of Viking heritage in the region.
For the advanced course in Geordie and other harder British accents try episodes of 'Auf Wiedersehen Pet', a 1980's comedy drama about British builders working in Germany.
Viking is not Swedish. It’s more Danish/Norwegian.
@@martinkulkarni3569 but to help with accents, more people know what a Swedish accent sounds like than a Norwegian or Danish accent.
"Gan hyem" sounds more Scandinavian. Probably a mash up of Anglo Saxon and Viking
Aye, ‘hyem’ or ‘haem’ is early Angle/Danish, and is earlier than the Vikings.
I once had a convo with a Norwegian in Newcastle , i could only understand about 50% of what he was saying but got the jist of the convo, it was later i learned that he spoke no English and was speaking in his native tongue ;)
Lisa was a smash hit!!! More Lisa. Great video ladies. I understood you two at least. Gonna watch it again. Debbie I missed you, get well soon. ❤️🥰🇺🇸🇬🇧
I'm Geordie, and I've lived in Somerset for 21 years, but my accent is still really broad. I'm laughing when you can't understand the accent, don't feel bad because even British people struggle to understand us 😆.
I know my husband struggles sometimes, and we've been together for decades 😂.
So true. I'm at uni in London and I had to slow down my accent because some people actually thought I was foreign.
That makes us feel better
If you're in London then most people can't speak English in that city anymore. You are a foreigner in your own country.
@@mollie3484 Yeah, when I first moved to Somerset, I had to slow my talking down. Also had to use English words like our, instead of wor. I used to say to my husband, you'd think I was speaking bloody Swahili 😆.
@@Howay.Man.Angelica 😂😂. My ex is American and he understands me better than some British people, doesn't get the sense of humour though. His face when someone called him a daft c*** as a term of endearment was classic. I had to explain.
I'm a londoner (cockney) when I use to work in the North East it took several trips before I could understand. Geordies are great people and loved working and staying there. It worked both ways, they had trouble understanding me but not as much until I spoke my daily speech using slang but they could understand the words just not the meaning, where as I couldn't understand the words. What had me laughing is your reactions, most of us English have the same reactions as you to geordies so don't feel it's just because you're not English is the reason you find it hard to understand.
Toby, you lived the "Auf Wiedersehen Pet" life. When I worked in civil engineering, the crews were so diverse, from Cornish, Irish, Scots, Londoners, Brummies, Scousers and Geordies. The banter was amazing.
@@russcattell955iworking all over the UK, Newcastle was always my favourite place to go. In a bar in a Chelsea shirt watching Newcastle in Europe (keegan, ginola and asprilla days) was some of the best nights I've had.
Cockney?? REALLY. Was you born within the sounds of the bow bells? Or are you a mockney? Rhyming a couple of words and reading a book about the Krays dsnt make a cockney geezer looool.
I'm from East London originally now living on north Tyneside, great people, I love it up here. And yeah, the language barrier is a bit odd at first but it's fun.
A Cockney explaining about Geordies.... this is too delicious!!
Natasha & Debbie
There is a famous person with Geordie accent. Both of you know him as Brian Johnson of AC/DC. Brian is from same area where Geordie spoken. Brian formed a band named Geordie. You still can hear his Geordie accent during interviews.
Loved this it was hilarious! 🤣 I was learning something new too. Natasha and Lisa’s reactions to some of the Geordie language was so lol. Would love to see Lisa react again she did a grand job there! Hope Debbie is recovery quickly from her dental work and look forward to seeing her again Wednesday 🥰
A lot of these are less slang words and more dialect words. Most ofthe accents over here include survivals of earlier very distinct dialects - the Geordie accent retains a lot more of the older dialect compared to other regional accents
🏅Have to give you bonnie lasses a participation medal at least lol. Seal of approval to Debbie's sister from a genuine Geordie,
A little bit of history, In 1388 the City of Newcastle upon Tyne was made a county in it's own right. Although the castle that the city grew up around, remained part of Northumberland. This lead to the "Garth" (area around the castle keep) becoming populated by thieves and prostitute because the couldn't be touch as, although they were in the centre of the town, they were actually in another county.
The name "Geordie" is dialect slang for George, in the same way as "Jack" is John or "Lizzy" is Elizabeth.
In 1745 during the Jacobite Rebellion, envoys were sent to Newcastle because the rebels expected the city to support them. When Newcastle declared that they were actually still loyal to King George, the said "We are Geordie's men". From that time people from the City and County of Newcastle upon Tyne have been known as "Geordies".
interesting how Newcastle was made a county in 1388. My neck of the woods was created a city and county in 1373 Bristol. Maybe there were more around this time.
@@stevethomas5849 Could be, all about trade. One interesting thing though, before the trade in coal, "Taking Coal to Newcastle", one of the biggest exports was human urine for the dying trade. Now that rally was taking the piss! :)
@@martintabony611The river is a natural (county) boundary. Bristol and Newcastle straddled this boundary, so were made separate entities.
I'm afraid the story about the Jacobite Rebellion and the Geordie's men is more folk tale than actual history. There is no strong historical evidence for it apart from a poem.
There is stronger written evidence from the 1800s that it was a term used for Durham and Northumberland miners referring to the particular type of lamps they used. The Jacobite theory is popular among people who attempt to appropriate the term for Newcastle alone. In fact, the idea that Geordies had to come from Newcastle is probably quite recent and there is a theory that it started on the football terraces. Interestingly the term Mackem for people from Sunderland only goes back to the 1970s and may have been a reaction to this trend.
Nevertheless, my grandfather - a Durham miner born in 1898 - and all my family from Durham mining villages definitely considered themselves Geordies when I grew up in the 1950s and 60s. And they all supported Sunderland.
@@rogerroger5255Newcastle has never straddled the river Tyne: it has always been on the northern side only and was wholly in Northumberland before gaining autonomy. Directly opposite was (and is) Gateshead which was in County Durham.
Newcastle nearly became a diocese in the early 1550s with John Knox, the fiery Scottish preacher as its bishop, but the death of Edward VI, Knox's flight abroad (where he became presbyterian) and the return of catholicism under Bloody Mary put paid to those plans.
Lisa thank you for stepping in and helping natasha and. You did a fantastic job I really hope we see more of you
Very fun video ladies!
It was nice to meet Lisa - she did so good. 🥰
Hope Debbie feels better soon and it would be fab to see a Video of the 3 of you together 😊
this was amazing thank you ladies this really made me smile like you always do
Hey Natasha another awesome video. Lisa was epic in her first ever RUclips video and did brilliantly
Love the geordie accent and knew what some of them meant but not others
You ought to watch a few episodes of, 'Auf Wiedersehen. Pet', if you want to hear Geordies in action. Especially once Oz gets going on one of his rants! 🤣
Think, 'Ship a-hoy!', in regard to the word, 'hoy.' Although, it's general meaning simply means to throw.
'Ganning on the hoy', roughly translates to, 'going on the piss', which is English slang for deliberately going out to imbibe more than is good for you of an evening. To the point where you, 'hoy', i.e. throw-up!
I like "twock"
It is a relatively recent dialect word, not just limited to Geordie. My brother was a police officer and I remember first hearing it from him, describing a car thief as a "twocker". He said it comes from the crime known as
Taking
Without
Owners'
Consent
or TWOC as it was written on the arrest sheet.
I was an honourary Geordie in the days before that addition to the road traffic act. We twagged all sorts of stuff, not just cars.
@@ethelmini TWOCking was based on the 1980s police acronym TWOC = taking without owner's consent, which related to stealing cars
Yes. Twoccing is slightly different to theft. It's specifically specifically a crime to twoc a car or another vehicle, but not any other property. The difference is that to prove someone's guilty of theft you have to show that they were intending to permanently deprive the owner of the property. If you twoc a car and drive it around a bit and then abandon it - i.e. joyride - it's not theft because you expect that someone will find the car and give it back to the owner, so you weren't intending to permanently deprive them of it. So the police charge you with twoccing, not theft.
You can't be charged with twoccing a diamond ring. As far as I know it's legal to take that without permission as long as you're planning to give it back.
Welcome Lisa, This was a lot of fun to see you both react to. They did use lots more slang when giving their descriptions which made it more confusing.
I'm from Newcastle and believe the words seem to originate from Scandinavian and Scottish with some local created words as well. "Bairn" for example comes from the Scandinavian for child "Barn". "Hjem" in Scandinavian means the same in Geordie (Home)."Aye" must come from the Scottish for "yes".
The Scandanavian will be from the Vikings that raided the shores around Northumbria on a regular basis.
Bairn is the Scot’s word for child
@@louisemiller3784 Note taken>>>:)
"Bairn" is an Old English word from before 1700. After 1700 it is (virtually) exclusively used in the north of England and Scotland.
"Wain" is a Scottish word for a baby or child.
This was funny, you're not the only ones that have a hard time understanding everything and i only knew about 3 of those lol, hope Debbies doing ok, Lisa did great! be good if all 3 of you did a reaction one day.
We plan to!
That was fun x get well soon Debbie but I hope Lisa comes back soon! enjoyed that
TWOK is taking without consent and is actually a real crime under the Theft Act specific to vehicle crime
😂 love it! Hello from Newcastle 🙋♂️
This was great watching yous as a Geordie fan of yours, and glad you got one right xD Hopefully yous will do more Geordie content in the future as there's lots of interesting things about our dialect.
Lisa was great, filling in for Debbie. Another excellent video, keep up the good work 👍
I had an international meet up of an internet camera club..There was a couple from Arizona...Everytime I spoke they had to ask someone else what I said..Those they asked said "I don't know,I'm not an Interpreter"...I had to revert to speaking slower and more politely..
When people try to try to fake the accent, they sometimes sound Jamaican, occasionally Indian or welsh too. The differences in accents can be for various reasons, as for Geordie and closely associated accents being so far north, it wasn’t as influenced by the change of language brought around by the French influence after 1066. It’s closer to old English also having some words holding over from prior to the ‘great vowel shift’.
Geordie is actually Ancient Scandinavian from the Viking settlers, where as Old English is Anglo Saxon.
The South Wales accent is often confused with Geordie but has less slang and delivered in an almost sing song rhythm. As for Welsh slang and pronunciation that is a huge step even for English speakers
@ C Cummings: ‘though much is almost pure ‘Angle’ - which yes, is part Scandinavian, but long precedes the Vikings.
@@C.CUMM1NGS there is indeed a shared heritage with Scandinavian however, I think most can agree English is one of if not the most bastardised of all languages. I’m far from an authority on the subject just an interested student.
As a Swede who don't speak English natively, I'm proud to say that I understood at least as much as you did (if not more). But I have listened a lot to Sarah Millican, as well as many musicians and singers from the area.
Some Geordie vocab. hails from old norse, that is there is a strong Viking influence.
I’m ten miles away from Newcastle and this is like a different language to me.
This was great! Very funny :) Hello Debbie's sister! You did great :) Would love to see all three of you in a video!
I played along (and failed too, lol), I'm from Norfolk, UK so we have our own way of saying things - the one's I did get were only correct because being in England we do hear some of these on TV etc, so I had heard a few, like mortal, before!
All the best to Debbie!
This was a great reaction ladies, u can travel around the UK and think u are in many different countries some of our accents are so strong they sound like another language 🤣
Very true!
Yet again another great video loved it made me smile 😃
As a geordie myself a lot of our dialect has Norse connections. To be fair most of the country doesn’t understand us either so you’re in good company lol. By the way TWOCK basically stands for Take Without Owners Consent
Yes you did get one right Natasha. Do as you're told. Lots of those were old fashioned, I'm a Geordie and I've never heard of some of those. I use canny and mortal but I would use bubbling for crying. Others I'm surprised weren't on there.
Bairn - child
Geet - very
Gan yhem - going home
Toon - town
Great video, bring Lisa back sometime, she seems like a canny lass.
But does it make a difference if you are a smoggie, makem, sand dancer, or a monkey hanger. I am from Kent and I understand that it can.
@@neilgayleard3842 yes, the accents are all slightly different. Sarah Millican and Chris Ramsey for example are sand dancers from South Shields (the other side of the river tyne) her accent isn't as strong as a Geordie. A makem would sound like they're saying kerry if they were saying curry.
I'm face blind, so at the start of the video I was like "oh, Debbie changed her hair" lol
😂
Great video ladies, you did better than me, lovely to meet Lisa, hope Debbie feels better soon, ice cream is the best medicine 💕💕💕
Really enjoyed this, i'm a geordie and watching you's guess our words just made me laugh 😊 also your comment on the geordie accent sounding a tad Jamaican is true. The amount of times i've heard people say they can hear Jamaican in my voice makes me laugh (people from the south of England that is)
the language of the gods! :D yeah the geordie accent has in the past been termed the best accent in britain both due to it's general sound but also because once you know the slang it's really easy and fun to communicate with people and watching them be confused with what you just said.
Great video, don't worry I only got one right 😂. Hello Lisa nice to meet you. Hope you recover soon Debbie love to you all. Xx
Enjoyed this and heard a few things for the first time . I find Geordie really hard to pick up and even understand some of it .we all had a laugh with you Really well done to Lisa she really got into the spirit of it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great video, again. Lisa you are a natural ✨️ I've never heard of some of that Geordy slang either.
You watched Sarah Millican she's a famous Geordie and her current tour is called Bobby Dazzler so you have heard that before! Well done Lisa and see you soon Debbie ❤
Shes a sand dancer.
She isn't a Geordie she is a sand dancer
@@lronmaam7612 I stand corrected 😄
I'm going to see Sarah live, next month. 😎
I'm sure you expect this even ruder live but amazing.
I love the geordie accent, it’s so friendly and warm.
There’s a comedian here in the uk called Chris Ramsey, he’s from a place in the north east called ‘South Shields’ I could listen to him and his wife Rosie talk for hours.
Natasha and Lisa, you have done brilliantly. I wouldn’t know half these phrases.
Sending love to Debbie x
From South Shields he's s Sanddancer !!
@@jamesmcleesh2688 I’m from Southport on the northwest coast and we are called ‘sandgrounders’
As a Londoner, i barely understood a word! If i visited the area, I'd need a phrase book.
the four of you guys in the same room would be an interesting conversation , im laughing thinking about it
Nice this is my dialect! It's one of the harder ones that people in the UK also struggle with. I don't think someone from London would have done much better! You're right on the Carribbean thing, there's a joke that saying beer can in a Geordie accent sounds like bacon in a Jamaican one!
Bubbling means crying not having a laugh but it's a very old word that I've only heard in old songs.
Canny has 3 meanings: nice, quite/very and careful.
And yep telt means told. The past participle in Geordie is often different like treated becomes tret, rung becomes rang, sitting becomes sat.
Mate, I’m 40mins down the damned road from GeordieLand (down in teeside) and I struggled with some!
Hey Natasha and Lisa
My gran was from near Newcastle so I knew many of these sayings but not all.
Oh and the truth is that not all of the UK understands all regional slang. As Natasha said the accent and slang can change within 20 miles!
A very funny video. Good job Lisa, come back soon!
Great to see Lisa. Great video.
I need to come back to this later, when I've woken up and got my 'ear' in!! 😆 On first listen, you did better than me! Lisa was great, but I still missed Debbie! Hope Lisa comes back as 'Top guest reactor' soon. Please give Tyson a scritch from me. 🤗💕🐾
Just ask a Geordie to say 'boat' or 'house'. It comes out just like Swedish.
When i was working in Stratford east London, it was the thing to ask me to say stupid stuff like kippers and custard lol
No, it comes out like proper English unlike the french nonsense southerners speak
Morning Natasha and Lisa. Wishing Debbie a speedy recovery.
This one was epic funny loved the reaction keep up the great work 👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
The Geordie accent is based around the river Tyne area fro around 15-20 miles radius of Newcastle upon Tyne, go outside that area to the south, eg Sunderland and the accent noticeably changes, as it does to the north and west too (go to the east and you are in the North Sea).
British accents can change an amazing amount in just a few miles.
Aye, and yon geet gadgie spraken part ‘pitmatical’ rather than true Geordie. T’other was a Makem, so least said the better! 😉
@@MrPercy112 absolutely, I was thinking that too…..maybe using different words though (I’m a posh Geordie from Wallsend you know lol)
Waalsend, eh? Ahr divint knaa a’hd be conversin with the Gentry like; if ah’d known ah’d have tipped ma bonnet t’ye!. It’s a kittle business, reet enuf, spraken to folk. A’hm rural Geordie me, oot fram the hills like; aah knaas ma place, bonnie lad. 😉
Those are very mild Geordie accents 😂 There are much stronger ones!
Ha, great choice, well done on your debut Lisa you did well. Geordie is tough accent to tune in to but great when you get it. Good to hear Debbie is recovering well, looking forward to seeing her back good as new.
Well done ladies that was a very hard one. Loved the guesses xx
We sucked!! 😂 but had a blast trying! Thanks for watching ❤️
I don't know whether or not you enjoy the music of Elton John. He wrote a musical, based on the movie Billy Elliot. Both as about a boy from a Geordie mining village who wanted to become a ballet dancer. The musical - a big hit in London and Broadway - went on to have 40,000 professional performances in eight countries. All the cast - mostly children - had to learn the Geordie accent. I think the Brits and Aussies got it down best. The swear words had to be modified for the US censors! Tom Holland (Spiderman) was a Billy Elliot for two years on the West End. The whole thing was hilarious and the kids very gifted. RUclips has lots of videos. Enjoy.
You did great girls I'm from the South and the Geordie accent can floor me sometimes too. You could try watching some Ant and Dec a double act of presenters who's accents have toned down a little.
Thank you!
This is making me smile. Lisa is Lovely!
Loved your video. Living near Newcastle for nearly 60 years I have never heard the expression Geet Walla so don't feel bad you did really well😊 Well done Lisa. You did Debbie proud.xx
Would love to see Lisa again
Great job ladies very funny 😄
Thank you so much, Lisa, for filling in for Debbie.
I'm impressed that you got "De as ya telt" instantly!
