| 词汇 | geordie |
| 词源 | Geordie. A dialect spoken in northeastern England. Some authorities say it derives from the regional pronunciation of the name George (Geordie), but others give an assist to the name of George Stephanson, the famous local resident who con- structed the world’s first practical steam engine in 1814 and has ever since been associated with the area. The region is often called “Geordieland.” See cockney. |
