M

Mackem:-NE
A person from the Sunderland area. This was a name given to Sunderland folk by the Geordies but now it has wide currency throughout the NE. The origin is said to be Wearsiders’ dialect in saying 'mack’em' when they mean 'make them . However a Teesside friend tells me he remembers all Durham folk,not just Sunderlanders, being called ‘mak’n’taks'. Sunderland is campaigning to have the name nationally recognised by entry in the Oxford English Dictionary on the grounds that 'Geordie' is in there. All power to their elbow! If they succeed they’ll do the whole North East a favour in showing there’s more variety to the region that that portrayed by Oz out of the TV series 'Auf Wiedersehen,Pet'!.See also 'Plastic Geordie'
