Rhyming slang

[SpikeyBush]

I'm an Essex boy, a bit of a geezer, well versed in the ol' cockney rhyming slang. Worked in Dublin for 10 years, they have their own rhyming slang but it aint half as well known. Who else has unknown rhyming slang?

[ELVIS68]

Why do you use rhyming slang if you`re an Essex boy?

[ChuckFickens]

Would it be possible to make north Essex a separate county I wonder.

[SpikeyBush]

'cos I'm a geezer and I like getting you in a right old two & eight

I like the Dublin rhymes for certain statues. Molly Malone is "the tart with the cart", Oscar Wilde is "the fag on the crag", two ladies shopping are "the hags with the bags", Anna Livia is "the floosie in the jacuzzi".

Sorry spikey, but unless you are a true cockney, using rhyming slang makes you sound like a right Barclays ;o)

[ChuckFickens]

If the answer is Epping or Chigwell I'll PMSL!

[sherrardk]

I don't have rhyming slang but I have a wide knowledge of Whenglish!

I've a fiver in my pocket (Lady Godiva, sky rocket). By the way, I'm a Geordie!
