Is that you're idea of a retort :facepalm: I suggest you go back to talking about transfer rumours as most of the things you have said in this thread have been wrong but yet you think everyone else is wrong. As I said earlier, ignorance is bliss. You must be one of the happiest blokes alive

I mostly heard it when I was young so they may have lied to me as they would not have wanted to have to explain what pox is, to be honest you hear a bit of it nowadays but nowhere near as much as you used to. But then again we seem to be losing everything to do with our identities. The...

What you mean the original as you knew it not coming from London, can I ask what years you happened to be around all these genuine cockneys that made you the fount of all knowledge

I thought it was Socks

I have heard it used for cab but also beer/pints. The cabs one I always just assumed was Sherbet dib dab=cab, as for the sherbet one I cheated and looked on google and surprisingly it is in the dictionary as Australian slang for beer, not sure how its made its way over here to be honest

But you wanted to mock others and "assure" people a minute ago, anyway as you said best to leave it there

Sorry, I dont know how I got that from what you said.

The thing is though mate, the original cockney for time is not Harry Lime, I knew I was right and Harry Lime was used by some for time but was taken from a film called the third man, that was made in 1949(according to wiki), I will maintain until my last breath that Harry dash is flash, and...

Once again you are wrong, Harry=flash. Lemon may or may not equal slash but Harry certainly does not

No offence me old china but you are aving a bubble(I do not really talk like that) you are the one who claimed earlier that Kettle is not watch but is slang for bum which is not right at all. I may be younger than you but I still remember most of them from when I was younger, are you sure you...

Lemon dash=slash, saying that though I do not think this is proper cockney rhyming slang but more recent. When my granddad or dad were going for a wee, they always said I am going for a Jimmy Riddle=Piddle.

Without getting into a whose more London debate, I think you are WRONG. I think Lemon=smart, lemon tart smart . Harry dash=flash as in flash Harry?, it may kill you to admit it but I am right, everyone has heard of the phrase flash Harry(dash=flash).

I think that the actual "cockney" one is bricks as in bricks and mortar, the same as Eartha kitt is not really rhyming slang for s**t, is it actually Tom Titt

Probably I really do not know, I have heard lamb to the slaughter to mean daughter but do not think it is original as I said. Has anyone mentioned "whistle" yet?

Smart, my dad once said it when I back chatted him followed by a clip round the ear.

All I know it is something to do with Burglary believe it or not, they used to refer to it as doing a drum

Drum is not rhyming slang
