Cockney Rhyming Slang

[Hopkirk]

We all know the most common ones, but occasionally I find that a regular word has its origins in rhyming slang.

Can you tell me any that would surprise me?

Years ago I found out how rude I was being calling someone a berk, and have just discovered that a 'sweaty' is a Scotsman. (Sweaty sock = Jock)

This is excellent!

Keep them coming.

How about this me old china?, china plate, mate.

As Trimeresurus says on the firs page 'arris means one's situpon. Here in Northern Ireland the name for the replacement of the Toyota Corolla sounds a bit like 'arris. So I went to my local Toyota dealer and asked for a test drive of the new Toyota Bottom.

I was escorted off the premises.
