    What a load of rubbish, Mackem is an insult, why don't people realise it ?
    I think this guy that's responsible for the Mackem dictionary is behind this, the first one was a pile of ****e, I was born and bred in Sunderland and I've never heard of half of the expressions in there.

    Think this may be linked in with the City of Culture bid.
    BC - another thread discusses issues re insult or not - simply not in my opinion but you disagree

    An insult to you maybe. An insult is only an insult if a person finds it insulting. Most don't.

    He can look closer to the town his team are based in. Geordie was a derogatory term coined by the scottish. But the people of Newcastle adore the term.

    Right, I'll try to explain it as I would to a simple child who go's to a special needs school.
    Now are you sitting comfortably? Right, I shall begin.
    MOST SUNDERLAND FANS DO NOT SEE THE TERM MACKEM AS DEROGATORY OR OFFENSIVE.
    Is that any clearer?

    I could give a toss. You ask any older person who was young in the 70's when the term widely began, it's an offensive phrase.
