Cockney Rhyming Slang - words & phrases
|
Residents of London, particularly those of the "East End" are often referred to as "Cockney", though strictly anyone claiming to be a true Cockney must have been born within the sound of Bow Bells - the bells of St. Mary-le-Bow church in Cheapside!

Truncated Cockney Rhyming Slang
|
'Wife' in Cockney rhyming slang is 'trouble and strife' which usually gets shortened to 'trouble'. The rhyming portion of the slang expression is often dropped leaving only a word that bears no relation to the English word it represents. Have fun!

If you are 'mutt and jeff' you won't hear a 'dicky bird' - deaf so you won't hear a word. Check out these rhymes I heard at my mother's knee. (Warning, the rhyming word is often left off, just to make it trickier!)
