I guess you mean in the company of Londoner's? But Not always, in Apples and PEARS, it's the last word that rhymmes with STAIRS.( the target) and is more obvious for company you are not sure of..
@craigmccullough73335 жыл бұрын
@@MrDaiseymay "apples and pears" is used in its entirety. As part of the reason for the slang is to prevent the conversation being understood by the "uninitiated" the use of the non-rhyming word would help conceal the meaning. Just think about the rhyming slang for "Yank". Or the origin of the slang term "Borasic" - as in "I'm borasic until next pay day" - which is a two stage slang term as the rhyme refers back to another slang term.
@sihollett5 жыл бұрын
@@MrDaiseymay the original point was to use the first word most of the time so that people not in the know didn't understand. It not only needs English language knowledge, but English cultural knowledge (and to some extent just a knowledge of the code). Some words even didn't get fully said like 'Berk' which is short for 'Berkley Hunt' which is rhyming slang for the worst word. Berk became a mildly vulgar insult among English people who don't know, but when they find out the origin they tend to stop using it, acknowledging it as far more rude than they ever intended!

Hi. This is REALLY for beginners...lolThe difficulty is that you omit the connecting word so,for example,,,"I'm putting on my Daisies" or "My Saucepans are coming over tonight ".....= Saucepan Lids=Kids=Children.......t was originally used by London criminals so The Old Bill did not know what they were saying. You will know that,while all Londoners are known as "Cockneys" a TRUE "Cockney" was born within the sound of The Bow Bells, which is a Church in East London.It could never derive from Essex.It's completely the other way round ! It was very common in,say,Post World War 2 London as White indigenous Londoners were 98% of Londoners then but most moved out to The Outer London Suburbs and Counties from The 1960's onwards as London was changing so that by 2016 only One birth in 10 in Inner London was to that Racial Group.. It was the normal thing for them to move out to the nearest County so East London to Essex.South East Londoners to Kent. South West Londoners to Surrey. North Londoners to Hertfordshire etc. The supreme irony in my 65 year old lifetime is that those very same people who moved in their,literally, millions from Inner to Outer London are now,in many cases, taking ANOTHER step further out as The Outer London Suburbs are changing in a fairly similar way to Inner London between The very late 1950's onwards as Mass Immigration came from Asiatic Countries and The Caribbean . In the last 10 weeks I have lost 5 customers to my local service to Norfolk x2, The heart of Kent x2 and Dorset. Consequently real Cockney slang is NOW found more frequently in Essex and Kent than London itself by the current descendents of those who left Inner London,particularly, in The 1970's/1980's/1990's.
@Isleofskye5 жыл бұрын
Thinking about it I now remember 2 years ago a Guy from Norfolk on The East Coast telling me that when he moved there from Essex 20 years ago most locals in Norfolk had a local accent, as you would expect but now he said that the most common accent there is from "Ilford" meaning from the heart of the border of Inner and Outer East London as those that moved to places like Ilford have now moved on nearer the coast in their droves so, obviously, Outer London areas like Ilford are becoming more like Inner London now. I have seen exactly the same cycle in all parts of London over the last 55 years....in particular..

No, it's not born within the sound of the Bow Bells (which are in the Church of St.Mary and Holy Trinity on Bow Road) but within the sound of the bells of the Church of St. Mary Le Bow, which is in Cheapside. Bow was an outlying village until the 19th century whereas Cheapside was part of London for centuries before that. The bells which called Dick Whittington back to London and are mentioned in the old children's rhyme Oranges and Lemons are the ones in St. Mary le Bow in Cheapside.

"Bees and Honey" is wrong. It's "Bread and Honey". Even the hippies of San Francisco cottoned on to this back in the 60's and called money "Bread". Real Cockney Slang died out sometime around the end of the 70's about the same time we started to give the "Dear Old Smoke" (London), away. P.S. It helps to understand that true Cockney dialect has one of the higher number of glottal stops also.

Hence " iron hoof " was always shortened to " iron" as in poof ...someone who is an homosexual .
