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

[@pacco9532]

Definitely as most of our heritage is Nordic

[@barrysteven5964]

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!

@@barrysteven5964 and in Danish it’s loppe! But that’s so cool, I’ve never heard the word loppy before

[@Shinathen]

Hjem or jem/yem is from Nordic as well but it’s from Dane’s transporting goods in the tyne

[@braeduin]

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.

[@kimbibby-wilson562]

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..

[@blotski]

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.
