The verb usage is not specifically Geordie, but quite common in the US. The def I would give is "to obtain something by wit or guile; to convince someone to do something they might not normally do".--Allamakee Democrat 21:52, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

1. 1897 So Donkin, unrebuked, cursed enough for two, cadged for matches, borrowed tobacco, and loafed for hours, very much at home before the stove. — Joseph Conrad, The Nigger of the Narcissus Chapter 5.

I'll add another deffinition. I thing the word has two senses in this respect--Williamsayers79 22:00, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
