[Sussex] Rhyming Slang - Do You Use It?

[Cheeky Monkey]

I appreciate we’re not cockneys, but playing with the King’s can be one of life’s greatest pleasures.

Before someone enlightened me last week, I’d always wondered why Scots were referred to as ‘sweaties’

People arriving at my place of work of a morning are occasionally asked if they got much ‘William’ last night.

(Sleep = Kip = Orange Pip = Orange = William of Orange = William)

Love rhyming slang, and spend far too much time thinking of new ones.

Always Fun to try and crowbar an Albion ref into it. For example, a Ruby Murray can be a Bert or a Glenn instead. Or Neil McNab for crab, in deference to his penchant for sideways passing and his Nickname of McCrab due to that….

Cattled if I do.

Ha! Yes, 'Crab McNab'! Only ever moved sideways! He was quite a good player though, but we, me old china, must be in a minority of NSC members who both remember him and the way he played.

Many years back I worked with a Scots lad on a building site, he told me he was off to a wedding at the weekend, I asked him if he had bought a new whistle?
He stopped what he was doing and said “ why would I want a whistle at a wedding? “

Keep your Alan’s on, he’s only gone and Sandy Shaw’d a bread roll.

I don’t use slang much but I often refer to the pub as “the nuclear” and a face as a “mooey”

 

[Taybha]

I've only gone and left the Potter out

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Not recently as I am still in mourning for our beloved baked bean.

Collar and tie man for work,so it's a clean Dickie Dirt and my Albion Peckham Rye.

I always thought it was Pony (and Trap) and "nice pair of Earthas"
