That's above my pay grade. <g> I've seen it spelled both ways, with context
showing similar meaning of "pretty."
Googled Geordie and found a dictionary. Says Newcastle-on-Tyne, but the words
look pretty Scots to me.
Reminded me that when I was in Greenwich Village this past June, I asked a shop
clerk at a British tea shop if he was from Scotland, and he said no, Newcastle,
but at lot of people made the same mistake. Fortunately, he didn't seem
offended. <g>
