Geordie is an accent and dialect all of its own.
My Geordie accent is quite mild, as are my parents because we all had correct pronunciation drummed into us as children.
Here is a link to a Geordie dictionary, the dialect is actually mainly influenced by Viking and Anglo Saxon languages.
I can speak "broad" thick geordie, you probablywouldn't understand a word I was saying, I am still proud of it because it is so old and part of the culture.

We need to punish the French, ignore the Germans and forgive the Russians - Condoleezza Rice.
