well what it was basically was that alll of newcastle started off as a cartoon. over the years since about the 1960s people started becoming real and thats how it got its name!

over time everyone became real and named it "TOON"

"Toon" is how they pronounce town.
So if you are from the "Toon" you are from Newcastle.

Make sense?

Yeah as already said, it is because they can't speak properly, and that is how they say it
