Hmm, not really. When my mum was a kid, it was just born in sight of the River Tyne within the boundaries of the (then) City and County of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. If you were born west of Newburn or east of say Wallsend, you didn't qualify.
Calling anyone South of the Tyne, up in Northumberland a Geordie just didn't happen. A Geordie at that stage would never countenance anyone from Sunderland as a Geordie. Mack'em and Tack'em was in use in Newcastle long before Sunderland regularly heard the term for the first time.
Wrong.
The BBC did a TV programme called Wordsearch where they traced the history of where certain words or phrases came from. One programme was about the word Mackems and they traced it back to the 80's, nowt before then. Geordie was in use 600 years before newcastle was founded so unless the sheep in that field full of sheep shit that newcastle was eventually built on were calling themselves Geordies yer ma's deluded.
