Product Description

Book Description

A comprehensive A-Z of Cockney rhyming slang, full of entertaining asides and background info

Product Description

Would you Adam and Eve it? Over a hundred years after it was first heard on the streets of Ye Olde London Towne, Cockney rhyming slang is still going strong, and this book contains the most comprehensive and entertaining guide yet.

Presented in an easy-to-read A to Z format, it explains the meaning of hundreds of terms, from old favourites such as apples and pears (stairs) and plates of meat (feet) to the more obscure band of hope (soap) and cuts and scratches (matches) through to modern classics such as Anthea Turner (earner) and Ashley Cole (own goal), as well as providing fascinating background info and curious Cockney facts throughout. Also included are a series of language tests so that readers can brush up on their newfound knowledge on their way to becoming a true Cockney Geezer.

All in all, The Ultimate Cockney Geezer's Guide to Rhyming Slang is well worth your bread and honey to have a butcher's.

cockney slang 3 Dec 2009
Format:Paperback
I bought this for my mum who although she's a cockney from a long line of cockneys hasnt lived there for a long time and with all the older generations gone who knew all the old slang she's found that she's forgotten a lot of it. It gives the etymology of the words as well as new ones that have come into use. A very interesting book.
