If you get on a bus in Newcastle at a busy time, it's quite likely that the (normally) macho driver might well say to you 'move reet doon the bus hinny'- this is quite acceptable to any Geordie hairy macho male...however if he said ' move reet doon the bus, honey' as a hairy macho male, I'd be tempted to thump him- the words are not related.
