Georgie, meaning yes. I'd say it's Georgie for "yes, man" or "yeah, dude" or whatever. SOP? --Mélange a trois (talk) 10:13, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
- Or an alternative spelling of “Amen!” (/eɪˈmɛn/)? --Lambiam 16:13, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
- I would think it is SoP and should be deleted, yes. Equinox ◑ 16:18, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
- Well, it does Google, often in the form "why aye man" or "whey aye man". Should it be considered a stock phrase used by Geordies? Some Geordies tend to use "man" as a form of address which can be added to any sentence, I hear them when listening to BBC radio. One can imagine "I'll have a brown ale, man." being said.

- These collocations also get many hits without the “man” ending: [1]. We have an entry for why aye, but not for the more common spelling whey aye. --Lambiam 23:20, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

No consensus. No clear consensus after more than a year. bd2412 T 18:44, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
