[Opinions] Re: Geordo
in reply to a message by J
Never seen it before; never expect to. Geordie is a nn for George, and also for people who live in Northumberland and specifically on Tyneside; and I've seen a couple of examples of Geordan being used, presumably, as a variation on Jordan, though the newly elected mayor of the city near my home apparently pronounces it like Gordon. Geordo looks more like a trademark than a human name: probably for something like a kiddies' snack that contains refined carbohydrates, artificial sweeteners (Low In Sugar!), lots of synthetic colouring and a token pinch of the kind of cheap B vitamins that nobody is likely to be short of in the first place.
