Geordie Dictionary by Michael
Since Geordie Shore is coming, I thought I would write a dictionary for the Geordie you might hear 
Everyone knows some Geordie words, like Haway the lads and Byker Grove, and yes, people ask me to say those things all the time on holiday 
So, I thought I would make a dictionary/translator type of post, so if you watch Geordie Shore you will know what they are saying, or if you are just interested in the Geordie accent and dialect.
I will give you some words and some sentences. I will write most phonetically, since its slang/dialect there probably isnt really a “correct” way of spelling for some words. p.s. many are taken from old norse, as are some Scandinavian words, so they are similar to some Scandinavian words too 
Alreet – Alright. (usually means hello/how are you)
aaal – all
Bairn - child, kid. (pronounced like bear-n with a soft N)
Bonny – pretty/good looking
Broon – Brown or Brown Ale
Canny – can mean lots of things, “very” or “a little” or “quite” e.g. canny good, canny heavy etc.
ma and da – mam and dad, mum and dad
Dee – Do
Divent – Dont. “divent dee that” – dont do that

Polis – Police
Reet – Right
Sel – Self e.g. I am here by me-sel. me-sel = myself
Tab – Cigerette
Tash On – Kiss (I have never heard of this but the girl in Geordie Shore seems to say it loads)
Telt - Told
Toon – Town or Newcastle. “We are gannin to the toon” – We are going to the town.

Wey Aye – yes
Wiv/Wi – With
Wor – Our
Yee – You
Yem – Home

posted on Tuesday 7th February, 2012 at 9:09she calls one of the lads dicks a “parsnip”. Nothing to do with Geordie words

When James put the girl in the taxi in the morning the housemates kept saying ‘James has pulled a worldie’…what exactly does this mean? lol
posted on Wednesday 15th February, 2012 at 7:11Hey, thanks for reading my blog
Worldie/worldy is once again NOT a Geordie word. It just means something amazing, e.g. when talking about girls like they call them a “worldie” it means they are amazing, hot, etc. etc. etc.
If you like Football and watch Soccer Saturday Paul Merson says it all the time when he talks about an amazing goal; James probably got it from there. Worldie = “World Class”

posted on Saturday 3rd March, 2012 at 2:28What does “radgy” mean? (thanks heaps for this blog, any chance you could be my on-site translator so I can just pause the show and you could translate then and there?
haha Radgy? That is a hard one to explain. A bit chavvy, a big “rough round the edges”, crazy/mental, someone who starts fights; that kind of person is a radgy

posted on Sunday 25th March, 2012 at 15:07hello,
I think they say “Geordie Shore Wye Aye”. Wye Aye/Why Aye just means “yeah/yes”. It’s a typical Geordie word.
posted on Monday 26th March, 2012 at 14:36You’re missing a couple (and this may just be English slang):
Mortal – Drunk
Absolutely Mortal – Really drunk
Moog (spelling?) – I think this means idiot
Thanks for the dictionary, it helps Americans understand the show!

posted on Tuesday 27th March, 2012 at 9:18Vicky always says it
Thanks
yeah Mortal is drunk. There are loads of words not on the list, this is just a small list of popular words
Moog? I think you mean mug
Bell End is not Geordie, lots of people say it
