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.
Ive just googled that and see what you mean!
This Alas Smith & Jones sketch springs to mind
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 thought it was always 'Bristols' as in Bristol cities.

I’ve often wondered whether calling someone a ‘Jeremy’ (government minister) has been used much. I’ve heard it a few times!
Skin and blister = sister
Tit fa tat = hat
Daisy roots = boots

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"
Without Googling... shoulders and Starbucks?
I reckon we should invent some forum related ones for Der Amf.
I stepped in a dirty great steaming Richard the other day. Yuk!
Look at the state of them Claire Rayners......
Who are these Glasgow's?????
Shereen = Shereen Nanjiani = fanny = vagina

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’
Definitely not Cockney.
He hasnae had his Nat for weeks.
Haw pal, whit's the Hampden?

Was pleased to dream up a Kings Cross for 'genuine' - Yehudi
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)

Yehudi always makes me think of Eric Morecombe's line - 'It's my old violin, I gave Yehudi Menuhin'
Yehudi - genuine
Sir Francis - fake
