A broad speaker might say, for example:

Geordie version:
I telt you to give us a one, but you've forgetten. If you divvent give us it noo, I'm gannin yem.

English translation:
I told you to give me one, but you've forgotten. If you don't give me it now, I'm going home.

Common phrases:

Hoo ye gannin? 'How are you?'
Hoo's ya fettle? 'How are you?'
Y'areet, hinny? 'Are you all right, kid?'
Champion. 'Very good, very well'
Bonny day the day. 'It's nice weather'
Cowld the day, mar. 'It's cold today.'
Whey aye, man. 'that's right'
Give ower, y'a kiddin. 'Come on, you're joking'
Hadaway man. 'I'm still not convinced'
Ya tarkin sh*te. 'I really disagree with that'
Ootside! 'Let's settle this outside'
Hoo's the Toon gannin? 'How is the Newcastle United match progressing?'
Tara now, pet. 'Goodbye (to female)'
Wee's yon slapper? 'Who's the young lady?' (derogatory)

Just a bit confused as to why GH1's (Ian shhh) signature is in English, rather than Geordish, I love reading things I can't understand, bit like dev actually.

Chris,
You might wanna set up a new poll / questionaire - see who can decrypt the dialect of the week.

Translation: I postulate in my sincere opinion that the consensus view of this forum is incorrect, and you ruffians pride brawn over brain power. You seem to have problems articulating yourselves in a manner which is comprehendible. Should you ever take a sojourn to Yorkshire I will endeavour to help you with your emulation of the local language, so you fit in with the other gentle natives of this fair county.

Oh. And if you get it wrong you get thumped.
