British vocab query

[Amy Z]

Hello chatters!

:sigh:  I can't believe I'm joining yet another list.  I swear, I'm 
asking my question and getting back off this list--unless I get hooked 
in the meantime!

This is not even remotely related to HP.  I just figured this 
is the biggest concentration of Brits I come in regular contact with, 
and I really want to know the answer to this question:  What's a 
Geordie?  (sp?)  I think it's someone from around Newcastle, but I'm 
not sure.  Someone should publish a British-American dictionary.

Thanks,
Amy Z
