Feb 12, 2010 - YouTube for "Cockney Rhyming Slang", and watch the video. It's basically slang words that most of the time mean something completely different, adding the rhyme was just something else.

Prka01 Says:

Feb 12, 2010 - Oh, I see, thanks.

Prka01 Says:

Feb 12, 2010 - Actually, if you heard their "street slang" or "ghetto talk" they might as well be speaking in ancient greek. It all depends on your source of the language, wich is in this case, most likely TV. And they clean up most of the garbage in TV shows and movies.

Prka01 Says:

Feb 12, 2010 - In what exactly? :-)

Terryengland Says:

Feb 21, 2010 - To make it harder to understand its meaning, the part that rhymes is taken out. So, it's "have a butshers" (butchers hook = look) or "keep your syrup on" (syrup of fig = wig).Cockney rhyming slang is more widely used than you think. Even in the US, people say "bread" (bread and honey = money) and "rasberry" (rasberry tart = fart).
