....hadaway
Hadaway is an expression only used in the North East of England,
particularly by those from Newcastle ("Geordies") - where Mark
Knopfler is from. They seem to use it in almost any sentence, but
most often as an expression of surprise or pleasure, or when swearing
("hadaway and shite" being a Geordie expression for "Piss off".)
