Bairn
의미: Child (Geordie/Scottish).
In Geordie and Scottish, a 'bairn' is a child. 'The bairns are in bed' means the children are sleeping. It's a gentle, affectionate term that survives from Old Norse through Scots and Northern dialects. Sunderland FC are nicknamed 'the Bairns' rivals' because their own fans call themselves 'the Mackems.'
