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.

Here's a site that's Brit to Amer and back again, also has lots of 
other interesting info:
http://www.peak.org/~jeremy/dictionary/
It lists Geordie as: a person from Newcastle (Tyne and Wear).

Here's another that 'translates' dialects.  Quite fun, but maybe 
that's just me...
