Dear not4hire

Cockney RHYMING slang.
You use a word that rhymes with the real word (don't ask me why, been going on for generations in the East End of London).

e.g. I went up the apples and pears, had a Rosie Lee and a hit and miss, shaved my boat and rubbed my Chalfonts.

Translated means: I went upstairs, had a cup of tea and a p.ss, shaved my face and rubbed my piles.

( Boat Race rhymes with face, Chalfont St Gile rhymes with piles)

Think of Dick Van Dyke's very bad impression of an East End accent in Mary Poppins and you have the voice somewhere nearish.

Does this make any sense at all to America? I think I'd better go to bed again.

W the B


You want Americans to make sense of that?  LOL  You guys drive lorries, smoke fags, and hit and miss the loo in a flat! LOL

Were I not of british descent I wouldn't have a clue to what anyone was talking about in England! LOL

Dear not4hire

You've lost me now!Please translate.

Charlie, the only 'raspberry' one I know for sure is before PC language and it is 'raspberry ripple' for a disabled person (work it out, its not very complementary)
I think I may have heard Raspberry tart as a recent one. Is it to do with antisocial smells?
Have you got East End blood in you Charlie?

The East End language goes back generations, there is even a dictionary available on the Net if you want to really confuse people or write to a British friend (it does translations for you into different British regional dialects) You're not really supposed to invent your own new ones but everyone does.

Here is another very traditional one

Hello my old China (mate-china plate) - what do you say we pop around to the Jack (Jack Tar-bar). I'll buy you a pig's ear and you can rabbit (rabbit and pork) about your teapot lids (kids).

There really are some people who talk like this but not many left.

How about some ones in use in the UK but are American influenced ones then:

or

Everyone out of the loo, I need a Forrest

or

I need some Frankie Vaughn magazines so I can go and have a Sherman/Jodrell/J Arthur

Or

No more Britneys or I'll Wallace

If being really nasty:

Jonny cockney rhyming is just a means of using alternate words that rhyme.  There's no insinuated meaning in them, it's an old time thing, none of them are meant to be insulting.  I know it sounds bad on the screen, but it really is innocent (except for the ones intended as insults that replace the exact insulting word)

I can understand you'd be upset, but it isn't meant like it sounds.  It's not that they are saying we are tanks of shit, it's like the brits one, shit pit.  It's all meant in fun, pretty sure there was no malice intended.

This stuff is fun Jonny but like you, I'm not good at it.

You're right about raspberry tart kids. "Raspberry" is in use here...or was when I was a kid.  By the way. I first learned of this thing from listening to an interview with Alfred Hitchcock. He loved it.

Nope. I said I'm not good at it....

Hello all

Most importantly, Jonny, have you seen yet that I really didn't mean to offend you or other Americans. There really wasn't any malice intended, I would have loved to have used Sherman Tanks but unfortunately that means something very different!!!!!
Can I call you a real Julius instead (Julius Caesar-geezer)
If you are still upset, well I don't suppose there is much more I can say other than I regret it and am sorry, I didn't intend it, and , this is probably going to piss you off again, I think we both owe each other apologies.

CathiP- I don't know anyone who actually can speak Cockney Slang. The bliss of writing it is that it looks like we are fluent, but actually we are scratching our heads as well. I haven't worked out the marlins yet! I never got the hang of pig latin.


Charlie
Keep going, it is fun. You have also made me realise where 'blowing a raspberry' comes from. Don't know if you use this phrase in the USA, but I have never understood where it came from. Now I do.

Love to you all
