Which area is Newcastle Business Park in? It certainly isn't Elswick or Benwell yet Scotswood Road is 20 feet away from it. You're backtracking on a few things. You clearly made a mistake by saying the term Scotchy comes from people living on Scotswood Road. Why did you say this? Are you humble enough to admit the obvious that you didn't realise anyone had lived on Scotswood Road since the 1960's? ON Scotswood Road means, on Scotswood Road, curious to understand why you said this, without admitting your mistake rather than trying to cover it up. Where exactly are my defined parameters of beyond. You'll have to explain why "beyond" to you means exclusively the West End too, which is what you did. Three or four times I said other people in Newcastle, then you started on with the nigger and black anaolgy, when clearly it is other people from Newcastle who use the term "Scotchy", more than people actually from Scotswood and as three or four have mentioned the word is largely not used outside of Newcastle and even in the East End which is what I thought. The only person who vaguely agrees with you is Toonpack, his opinions are null and void before he's even written anything, and he's an arsehole who would say Vanessa Feltz is thin if I said she was fat. People should concentrate on things they know like finance and fiscal policies, rather than discussing things they don't, contradicting people who do and ending up looking foolish.

I didn't say it was a phrase ONLY people from the west end knew, you got emotional when I said it was largely a Newcastle word, it is, and even more emotional when you were referring to people who lived ON Scotswood Road when no one has lived there for nigh on 40 years. Gene and I haven't always seen eye to eye, but what he said is basically fact imo.

Runs along the riverside, definitely not THROUGH any of these places. Mirrors my thoughts exactly. Without doubt and unequivocally you are a cock anyway and I'd say that to your face, but this just adds weight to the argument. It has nothing to do with the coast, it's a Newcastle word, used everywhere. The odd divvy from the coast may have picked it up, but that's natural when people are trying to align themselves to the regional capital.

Although he is class I don't think it's David Silva, I just don't. However it is another Manchester City player. There aren't too many midfielders in world football, even on top form who are "unplayable", but Yaya Toure is. He was one of Barcelona's best players, he has the odd iffy game he does, but on song he is a monster few can live with, he does everything, and his presence on the pitch is just amazing. What a fuckin player, I'd argue with anyone that he is a better player than Vieira was, he is by far in my opinion, and it shows how highly I rate him when I admit Vieira was class. I wouldn't say he's my favourite player, but I do think he is the best player in the Barclays Premier League. My favourite non toon player would have to be Steven Gerrard, it's not his fault he's scouse, and in my opinion he's wasted his career, he should've went to a big club when he was about 23 or 24, a genuinely big club like Man Utd, Real Madrid or AC Milan, he'd be regarded as a world great if he had've done.

It would've been funny if it held any relevance.

It doesn't run through them at all, there's between 1/4 and 1/2 a mile buffer before there's any population to the North of Scotswood Road. Everyone? Well a kid born and bred hadn't heard it, and someone from the coast said it was very uncommon, while you made the ludicrous claim it originated down there.

As I thought, and as David Kelly confirmed before, I knew it wasn't a common thing down there. Comfortably the worst analogy I've seen on this board. I'm not a Scotchy, but it's a phrase people from Newcastle use to describe a section of the population of an area within Newcastle. The word nigger is a racist term to describe a black person, they are rightly or wrongly the same thing. This bit made me laugh too.... Considering that no one has actually lived on Scotswood Road for at least 40 years, unless there are people living above Sven Adult Books.

I'm from the West side of Newcastle but not the "West End". The same as JawD and Peasepud. The West End in the context you're talking about is the area from the West Road to Scotswood Road, North and South, and Scotswood Sport Centre to the Villa Victoria, West to East. People from Newcastle who aren't from these areas call people within this area "Scotchy's" and more specifically people actually from Scotswood as "Scotchy's". The area I've described doesn't even cover 1/4 of Newcastle upon Tyne. Scotchy was a word you used to hear 20 times a day. I'm still at a loss to understand the the logic behind your assertion as to why you think it would be more used in Whitley Bay?!? than in Newcastle. Personally when I haven't got enough knowledge to talk about something in depth, the last thing I do is accuse people of talking shite, I think other people should use the same principle.

I wasn't talking shite ye cheeky cunt, the kid from Wallsend even contradicted you, HE LIVES IN WALLSEND and he'd never heard it used there, then the most ridiculous assertion was that in your opinion that people are more likely to use the term comes if they're from the coast It's like saying people from Newcastle are more likely to have a derogatory term for people from the Meadow Well. It's ridiculous beyond belief.

Don't think so like, a genuinely horrid accent. Every time I ring Paddy Power I want to commit mass murder, horrible charva accent find it very difficult to listen to them. Just listen to Duff and Robbie Keane, enough to make your ears bleed. Cork is a nicer accent.

Aye and also in general conversation things like "Scotchy Sports Centre", "Mary Bell was from Scotchy". Was a Newcastle word. Aye the lasses were Sharon's and the lads Trevor's. The charva lass would wear white stiletto's I only knew this because my older sister, who is much older used to say it all the time being a snobby little madam, and she's got even more snobby as the years have went by.

Nar, and never was. When I was at school anyone from Scotswood, was from Scotchy, and was a Scotchy. It could also be used to as a generic insult occasionally to people who weren't from Scotswood, "he's a pure scotchy that kid", meaning the kid in question was a tramp.

Well you're entitled to your opinion on this, but as far as I'm concerned it's UTTER wank, as David Kelly a kid from North Tyneside mentioned. He'd never even heard of it. I've heard the word Scotchy as in people from Scotswood for well over 25 years and of the 270,000 people in Newcastle the vast majority will know it or use it, and it would make sense that the people closest to Scotswood, i.e. people in other parts of Newcastle would be more prone to use them. Also there used to be a slight rivalry between East End and West End, the coast never even came in to it.

Aye irrespective of what Toonpack says, it's not a word used by people down the coast and North Tyneside generally, where for people from Newcastle it's used commonly. Spot on re charva it's at least 25 years old.

Never been to Dublin like. Been to Belfast and I loved it, women are much fitter than the majority of places owa here. Never fancied Dublin to be honest. Think the film "The Van" put me off, not to mention an accent which only scouse, mackem and brummie are worse in the english language. Should gan one time though really, my heritage is owa there, well Tiipperary which isn't too far I believe.

One end is tiny though. How long does it take on the train down there from Belfast?

One end was like a Sunday League ground, the one to the left of the camera.

97 the Dublin one, because Tomasson got two against PSV, that was the only summer he was here. I thought we've signed some player here. TBF he had a brilliant career, top goalscorer in the history of his country, more international goals than any England player ever, UEFA Cup Winner, Champions League Winner, Dutch and Italian title winner. Outstanding career the lad.

Scotchie is a phrase only people from the West End and beyond seem to know. I've said it to people from the coast and Wallsend and they think you're on about jocks.

Comparing that with this....oh dear, oh fucking dear. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2012/10/10/comment-nufc-back-in-the-national-spotlight-again-72703-32001463/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

This @david_baty what a cunt

Some divvies confuse me and leazes on twitter because we have similar names on there. This bamboo cage prodding has to stop though imo, does nee one any favours.

What's RockyRoad been banned for like?

Aye, he's a fat mackem bigot. Don't get me wrong it's difficult to find a bigger bunch of wanks than Rangers fans, but Celtic's are no better, I don't recall him tweeting about this...
