Definitions
A colourful Geordie (North East England) dialect word for someone who is potbellied or has a pronounced beer belly. 'Gotch' refers to a pot or bulging container, making the compound a vivid image of a stomach that sticks out like an overfull vessel. It has the affectionate, slightly piss-taking quality typical of Geordie dialect — descriptive enough to paint a picture but not quite mean enough to be genuinely cruel.
He was a big, gotch-gutted bloke who always seemed to be holding a pint and laughing at his own jokes.
