'Had Away, Gan On': What does this mean?
« on: February 28, 2008, 01:20:05 PM »
I heard a song by Jez Lowe today called 'Had Away, Gan on'.

For those of you in Newcastle, what does that phrase mean?

Hadaway means go away/get away from me/get out of here.  Gan is go, so go on.

Thanks! That makes sense.

By the way, I like Jez Lowe (after having stumbled upon him). Any other fans?

'Hadaway 'n' Shite' = the standard response when my Geordie mate tries to tell me that Kevin Keegan is a good manager...
