Would Conorm say this?

What are ye deein man!

or, maybe,

"I have to de somethin."

I've long heard there's a way of speech called Geordie but til now it's been another British institution that I knew nothing about.
Geordie is the form of English spoken along the northeast coast of England, the area traditionally called Northumbria.
Don't know how similar to Yorkshire English it is.

So what are ye deein, man?

......what? no geordie icon!?....pfft......

 

[c0n0rm]

Here's something better than a geordie icon:

I almost feel like welling up....


...we are the geordies!....the geordie booze boys!....
​

 

[belamy]

I don´t get how so many native English-speaking people can mock non-natives for not speaking English properly.

 

[looseliam]

...we are the geordies!....the geordie booze boys!....

Is there a song to go along with this perchance? Maybe a little dance?

 

[c0n0rm]

Yup, there certainly is, but it's a stupid song, sang by stupid fat pie-eating geordie football fans. I've sang it once, and once only, and don't plan on singing it again, but it goes like this:

We are the geordies
The geordie booze-boys
We are mental
And we are mad.
We are the loyalest
Football supporters
The world
Has ever
had

and then it gets repeated until nobody can stand or sing anymore, at which point the "singers" collapse face-first into their own kebabs and slowly slide back down the bank towards Baja and their homeless friends on the swingbridge.

I know that's a really negative view - but trust me - I LOVE NEWCASTLE!!!

Geordie is English without all the artificial French, Latin, Iberian, Arabic, Mediterranean, etc. additives.
It's organic English.
[Is that right?]

You mean it has about only 20% of the common English vocabulary?

Belamy - what are you bitching about?
It's a dialect - there's nothing wrong with that.
Stop looking for an argument where there isn't one.

It puts together the native and "humble" parts of English in ways that are quite charming to an English-speaker.
If one is interested in fine wording, it's more than a dialect, it's an intellectual resource, as well as a medium of social bonding in that part of the world, if we are so lucky.

Well, that´s what languages are, isn´t it?
