Geordie dialect for 'most' — another example of the Newcastle accent's beautiful habit of reshaping vowels into something entirely its own. You'll hear 'maist' in traditional Geordie speech and in folk songs from the Northeast. It's not a typo, it's a dialect feature, and it carries with it centuries of Tyneside identity. Using it outside of Geordie context reads as either authentic love for the dialect or a pretty good impression.
She said the maist important thing was to just show up and be present.
