Geordie

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geordie

Quote of the day:

"poems by the Anglo-Saxon scholar the Venerable Bede translate more successfully into Geordie than into Standard English"

The Venerable Bede will for evermore have a Geordie accent.

I also like to call people for Norfolk, Norfolk (as in folk), I don't think that's standard though.
