Misspellings: noise, not nose

cunny(?), not cuuny -- but I don't know what the word is supposed to be anyway

Something described by a Geordie as "canny" (so there's what the word is!) is good, clever... it's a compliment.

When you have relatives from that part of the world, as I do, you get to understand the dialect! Another thing Phil got right there is adding "like" to the end of sentences for no particular reason.
