"Geordie Shore," if you weren't aware, is the UK version of MTV's "Jersey Shore." It's got all the slurred speech, gelled hair and orange-toned skin as the American version and is just as entertaining. We sometimes look at our British neighbors with raised eyebrows (tea and soccer instead of beer and football?), but "Geordie Shore" can bring us together. We can learn from them as much as they can learn from us and we'll find that we're not so different after all. The slang may be different, the accents may require subtitles, but we never woulda thought to call a group of girls in a hot tub "Whore Soup" the way one of the jealous female housemates did.

If it's the former then we'll add it to the list of words that only sound cool when uttered by a large-breasted bird who stands out from a crowd of mingers.
2. Drinking Jaeger-bombs is not just an American mistake
As it turns out, the Jaegermeister shot dropped in a beer is not just a tradition in the States. On "Geordie Shore," it is one of the most popular drinks to wet your pants to, especially when you are moving into a new house and meeting your brand new roommates who you will be on a TV show with. It begins the same way: you have a couple of drinks, you break the ice, you chug a few Jaeger bombs, you really get to know your new friends, you yell out the windows, you jump in the hot tub with all your clothes on, and, finally, you bury your face in a toilet making the sort of sounds a boar makes if it's being strangled.
