Definitions
A Geordie (Newcastle and Northeast England) dialect form of "theirs," part of the rich and distinctive Geordie pronoun system that differs noticeably from Standard English. Geordie dialect has preserved some Old English and Old Norse features that disappeared elsewhere, and "thors" is a perfect example — a pronoun form that's completely natural in Newcastle but might throw off an outsider. It's a marker of local identity and genuine linguistic heritage, not just lazy pronunciation.

Thor in Geordie dialect — the distinctive accent and vernacular of Newcastle and Tyneside in northeast England — functions as a multi-purpose word filling the roles of 'they're', 'there', and 'their' depending on context. It's one of those words that perfectly demonstrates how Geordie compresses and remixes standard English into something distinctly its own. If you're watching Geordie Shore or chatting with someone from Newcastle, you'll hear thor flying around in all three meanings without missing a beat.
