Your attitude to plead clemency for Jay beggers belief. There are loads of euphemisms to describe sex or a strong yearning for sex but Geordie Ronnie Kray likens sex with women in violent terms. It's unacceptable and he ought to be kicked out. It's on par with BB8 Emily Parr's racial comments (no pun) or Alex BB9's gun comments.

It's well documented my thoughts on Jay. But I do object to the way in which this has been put over in the opening post in respect of that particular comment.

I happen to know Geordie lads, and they could not be further removed from the likes of Jay.

No I am not sticking up for Jay - as I say, it's well documented on here, but I'm damned if I'm not going to say something when it seems like it's being thrown out of all perspective - and in rather poor attempt at tarring Geordie men while at it.

That's more my point...... this is Jay. I have heard guys say it on nights out and I didn't like hearing it then either but to link it to any area and to infer it may be typical of Geordies / Glaswegians / Bristolians etc: that's not fair play at all.

Whle I wouldn't generalise so much as to say it's all Geordies, there does seem to be a prevailing attitude of appaling sexism from those Geordies who grace our screens in reality shows. I'm sure that's as much down to the producers picking stereotypes, but it does make you wonder why the stereotype of Geordies is this way.*


* I am of course biased against Geordies, being from Sunderland, but the endless stream of knuckle-dragging, sexist, shallow scum that passes for Geordie men gracing our screens on reality shows over the years does make me feel a bit vindicated in viewing Geordies in a negative light all these years. It's no wonder the decent people of Newcastle feel so ashamed whenever people like Jay or the cast of Geordie Shore show their city in such a bad light.

In the same way that Scots are portrayed as skinflints.

In the same way that Irish are portrayed as drunkards.

In the same way that Welsh are portrayed as simpletons.

In the same way that Essex girls are regarded as slappers.

*none of which happens to be true btw!!*

It's a minority of a section: but it's still a stereotype - and there's nothing quite like drawing in viewers on such shows like Geordie Shores, TOWIE etc: and making out that this is what the average person is like from such places.

I agree it might be becoming more prevailant, but it's still pretty much in the minority (imo) and again, I think it's blinkered for anyone to associate all people from the one area, are the same (not saying you are doing that, not at all...... I'm sure you know what I mean!). I totally understand your own annoyance: hell.... you just have to look at the nutjob that have been Scottish who have been on BB... the majority of Scottish housemates have been embarrassments totally.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It would be interesting to know the origins of these stereotypes though. There must have been some kind of cultural moment for each of the areas that you listed that somehow planted the seeds of these portrayals, that were then somehow reinforced with further cultural moments until they bacame stereotypes. I'm wandering off topic again though.

I do know that as far as history is concerned, years ago, a Scottish pint was equal to 2 (or 2.5, 2 I think) English pints - going back to William Wallace days: so that would account for Drunken Scots.... where the miserable thing came from: No idea!

I apologise, but I haven't heard this phrase for sex with a woman before and (for once) was trying to understand Jay and why Jay says it eg if it were a Newcastle saying then I'd be disgusted, but it wouldn't entirely be his fault ie he's a product of his local dialect.
