Morning Mackems

Sorry guys, just read that the term Mackems is an insulting word.


Absolutely not intending to insult anyone. Apologies!
 
Not at all, people from Sunderland are mackems, those from Newcastle are geordies
People from Tyneside are Geordies and a lot of them support Sunderland.. The term mackem was originally given as an insult by Mags, but I don't know anyone from Sunderland who is offended by the term.

It's a word which comes from their fine heritage of industry. Just cause somebody who doesn't like makems, says it's derogatory doesn't make it so. I've met like two Sunderland fans in my life who genuinely feel it's insulting. Everyone else is completely fine with it.

Cause it's an 'insult' that actually complements the cities heritage. Trust the dim mags to make an insult complementary. :emoticon-0136-giggl
