It's pretty laughable ...its akin to us goading them for almost not having a zoo ...the beast freakshow at sjp being almost qualifies them as having some kind of post apocalyptic zoo

This as an insult has always confused me. There is one word in the sentence that isn't pronounced properly. Whereas if a geordie was to say the sentence it would be 'ways kays are thaise kays'

It is literally much stupider in their accent

Even stranger is their attempt at a SILENT version of an insult based on an ACCENT - the dangling of a set of keys - hilarious - especially when you've just done them over for the 6 in a row.

They give it as 'banter' but everytime I question them they have no explanation.

Christ, bigg market a few weeks back a few ordered it, nowt said. My mate ordered it (has a SAFC Tattoo on his neck - I know) and got death threats.

It's the daftest insult I've ever heard. Funniest part was when we got to Wembley and the chant... They couldn't handle it "why ya takkin that piss lot a yasells man?"

They really don't get "banter" like.

They just do not get any kind of humour. The Mag form of humour hits the ground with a leaden thud.
 
I'm 40 and I've loved cheese chips since I was about 6 or 7. Me mam used to make them for me but I can't recall the first time I'd have bought them from a shop.

Can remember buying them from the chippy in Sunderland opposite the leisure centre there was a downstairs upstairs chippy. That will have been about 1987 or summit. (maybe that was the first time)

When I was about 17 and at college about 1993 in peterlee and went into a chippy and asked for them they were 'what? Cheese on chips?' as though they'd never heard of it.

Sometimes I have it melted and sometimes just grated, not fussed either way is lovely

i think the people of Newcastle, are trying to take the piss out of the people of sunderland for being working class and having shite diets. They're a hoity toit lot in the monnor houses of chillingworth road and walker.
 
As others have said, it started as a dig at how we say cheesey. Not sure what's funnier, the fact many of their knackers have got their own joke wrong or the irony of the "toon" army having a dig at others accents.
 
I'm pretty sure the chips thing has been in the last 10 years. I don't recall ever hearing it much, certainly never when I was at school in the 80s and 90s.

It is like the keys thing. Derby day at the SoL and 3,000 geordies suddenly start waving bunches of keys in the air, pointing and laughing trying to goad us, followed by 43,000 mackems looking in bewilderment collectively thinking WTF?

I think the thing they don't get about goading and insults, is the other person has to be bothered or understand the reason for the insults. It is like us suddenly deciding for no particular reason that all mags says "You's wear shoes", then waving our shoes in the air or walking past a mag on the street pointing at their feet, sniggering and saying 'ha ha, shoes'.

It was an attempt to mock the Sunderland accent. Yes, the "Jawdee Nayshun" famed for being unable to speak properly wanted to mock another region for their accent. For some reason knackers have latched onto it thinking it's some sort of wearside delicacy. :lol:

Absolutely this. Another example of their arrogance & lack of self-perception that's been around long before 1992.

Poutine.

A Quebec delicacy.

Other than the Habs and Forumla 1 , don't think they give much of a shit about much else, sport wise.

But cheesey chips..best in the world

I thought sausages was the Quebec delicacy? Didn't Waddle used to work in the Factory?
 
You find people gorging themselves on them in every tinpot town and city up and down the length of the country - no idea why they think it has anything to do with Sunderland
