a breaf description of Cockney ryme slang

Post by Chauncy Mass »

In Cockney ryme slang (for the few of you who donot know) the word that would normally be spoaken is replaced with the first word of a two word phrase that rymes with the original word

for example: If I were to say " The masson's a bit crumpets tonight" the translation would be "The bar (masson jar=bar) a bit empty (crumpets and tea =empty) tonight"

Isn't that fun? So let the post decodeing begin :D
