Geordie (Newcastle) dialect slang for a fool, an eccentric, or someone behaving in a daft and aimless way. Glaik has a rough-edged, affectionate quality typical of North East English insults — it's more likely to be said with a laugh than genuine contempt. You might call a mate a glaik for doing something dim, or use it to describe someone who's acting like a clown. Still alive in genuine Geordie speech.

A Geordie dialect pronunciation and spelling of 'name' — representing the distinctive way speakers of the Newcastle and Tyneside dialect render the vowel sound in that word. Geordie is one of the most distinctive regional dialects in England, with a phonology that traces back to Old English and Norse influences. 'Nyem' is the kind of spelling that captures the dialect in print, often used affectionately by Geordies themselves in text messages and social media.
