Yeah, Canny is a strange word. You can tell someone to "gan canny" if they're going somewhere. Something can be canny. "Aye that's canny that" Someone can be canny. "Worra canny bairn" Something can also be canny good. "Aye, that's canny good that like, y' knaa".
Did a pretty good job at remembering Just sad they didn't finish hadaway The full expression is "hadaway and shite" often used to express disbelief... Believe it or not 😁
Most of the words discussed are local dialect, and dialect is not slang. Some, such as twoc and napper, are general terms found across the country and not specific to the North-East. The main influence is from the invading Angles coming to what became Northumbria, speaking their version of Old English. Hardly any Viking words came into Geordie and Northumbrian speech, as the Vikings didn't settle in modern Northumberland, although they did famously attack the area and settled in southern parts of County Durham..
It would be great to know exactly how the Angles pronounced their version of Anglo-Saxon and if this has affected how English in the north east is pronounced. As they mostly came from what became Denmark I wonder if their pronunciation influenced Danish, which although is a North Germanic accent has a very different pronunciation from Norwegian and Swedish. I've actually no idea to be honest, I'm just wondering.
As a Nordic person it’s interesting to hear the words derived from Nordic language. Pretty sure nebby is one of those, but other examples could be yem and bairn… I wonder if there were even more similarities in the past
Another Geordie adjective is 'loppy'. It means something dirty that looks like it might have fleas. 'Wash your hair, you look loppy.' Not long ago I found out that loppa is Swedish for flea!
Absolutely, there was quite a bit of mutual ineligibility between speakers of old Anglo-Saxon English and the Danish invaders/settlers. So much so that, after a few generations, the Danes had a massive impact on the development of what we now know as modern English. I think the impact is more keenly felt in the North of England and some areas of Scotland as those regional dialects are very distinct and noticeable.
A lot of these words are similar to Scots slang. Not 100% the same. Instead of a spelk, we call it a skelv. A radgie in Scotland means a temper-tantrum (The bairn's haein' a radgie = the kid's having a tantrum). A gadgie is a very poor, dirty, uneducated, and loutish person (i.e a ned/chav). We use nebby and napper in the exact same way though.
When I first started working in the care sector I came across Twoc and I couldn't understand Why they were using the word. I asked why and they said it stood for trial without catheter. I said oh I thought you meant twoc as in twoc a car 🤣🤣
Chucky Vicious then why did you watch this video and take the time to comment? I find it hilarious that people say they don’t like Ant and Dec, but still follow them and watch videos with them in it!
Us Scots do say Bonnie but not a lot. Certainly not as much as the Newcastle folk 😊 And erm.. i thought we had crazy words .. not anymore though after this 😂
I was born Newcastle, I dont remember most of these, some of them I do. I wish I still had my geordie accent, sometimes it comes out of me by accident and I laugh
Isolation is the reason: cut off from Scots by the border; cut off from English by the Danelaw. (That’s why Yorkshire is far more Nordic in influence than Geordie which is rooted more in Old English than Norse).
Dec's a wee bit older than me but we used to twoc stuff off each other's desks all the time at school. You'd nick something, yell "TWOCKED" and then chuck it across the room to someone else. Fun times :)
@@mylordandsaviourisjesuschr7577 If you keep putting lol on the end of every sentence it won't help you know. Another pointless comment. Maybe you should go to bed now.

I love Newcastle - I love Ant and Dec. Geordie accents are amazing. When I was in Newcastle, I got eargasims. I couldn’t always understand the Geordies and they couldn’t always understand me but boy, what an accent ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hadaway - Go Away Spelk - Splinter Radgie - You’re going mad Bonnie - Good-looking, pretty Sneck - A Door Latch Gadgie - A Guy Radgie Gadgie - A mad man Nebby - Nosey Twoc - stands for “taken without owners consent” Kets- Sweets Nappa- Head Canny - Alright, good Ha’way - Come on or Come off it
There's a canny few missed off. I recommend you getting a Geordie translate book if you're visiting us 😂You definitely would not understand the older generation of Geordie slang. My dad talks so fast and his accent is very strong.
