Nicknames...

Not only do people in every city here have different accents, some also have different nicknames.

Liverpool = Scousers
Newcastle = Geordies
Manchester = Manks
Birmingham = Brummies

I thought this was interesting since I don't think we really have any nicknames in the US. (I don't think "Cincinnatians" really counts as a nickname for people from Cincinnati.) I haven't heard if London has one...
