    They’ll probably need a Brad afterwards.

    I have often wondered about Giraffe, as in having one.

    A chap at work used to say it a lot - is it genuine or a Kings Cross? (Ironic fabrication)

    By jove I think you’ve got it!

    The second word rhymes with the original, then you only ever use the first word. That way the toffs don’t know what you’re rabbiting on about.

    Mind you, if you’d walked into the Blind Beggar back in the day and announced you were having an elephant, you might have ended up in a bit of a two ‘n’ eight.

    Does rhyming slang work in reverse?

    Do greengrocers go and fetch a couple of trays of 'stairs' out of the van? Or the financial conduct authority refer to 'avin a w*nk' when referring to Barclays Bank?




    (actually I think I already know the answer to that 2nd one)

    Tom (tit) is obvious and still makes me laugh

    Salmon got me for ages
    But it’s salmon and trout

    Who gives a Donald was a race horse that ran a good few years ago
    The powers that B realised way too late but it was renamed

    Another was Mary hinge - it won a few

    Tom tit sounds made up to me.

    If you’d had a dodgy ruby you’d more likely to make a dash for a pony n trap.

    I’ve often wondered whether calling someone a ‘Jeremy’ (government minister) has been used much. I’ve heard it a few times!

    You wouldn't get close to the place. Judging by the fact that EVERY Londoner was in there at the time of the murder.

    Been researching this on the internet - which is also quite useful for ingratiating myself with the latest Mrs V's family who are from Fulham and come across like cock a knees,

    Anyway, what about

    "Ive got a terrible pain in my Noddy's"

    and

    "Ive not got enough wonga to get a coffee form Lisa"

    Many times it’s not just the slang it’s the way it’s strung together. One of my all time favourites heard in a south London boozer in Bermondsey many years ago.

    ‘Look at the state of that plumb over there, he’s got Hempsteads like a burnt out fuse box’

    Brilliant. Can we start using that in Watch Talk? As in ‘are we sure that Submariner is yehudi?’.

    Now need something for 'fake'. Geographically wide of the mark, I know, but how about Dickering (Wapentake)
