It would take a great deal more that being called a Geordie to offend me,
I'm the offence-meister so it would be rather two-faced if I took offence
easily myself. :)

Geordies are northern Englishmen, specifically from Newcastle (major
north-eastern city) and more generally from Tyneside, although I reckon it's
most applicable to folk from "the 'toon".
