What is 'sailor cake' rhyming slang for?

*correction* Whilst not cockney RHYMING slang, it is cockney slang- cockney slang for Anal Sex or 'buggery'This is slang and this is UK slang but not cockney rhyming slang as best I can determine. Sailor cake or more commonly referred to as navy cake is when two men engage in activities from behind. To be rhyming slang the word cake would have to rhyme with the referent. In this case, it does not. Example; apples and pears for stairs, trouble and strife for wife, china plate for mate. This is straight forward slang such as apron for flag, blagged for robbed or bloody for, well, what ever that is supposed to mean.


What does rhyming slang mean?

Rhyming slang is associated with the Cockneys of East London and involves substituting a common word with a phrase which rhymes. eg plates of meat instead of feet or apples and pears instead of stairs or tit for tat instead of hat or Barnet fair instead of hair. Often the rhyming phrase gets shortened eg Barnet Fair to barnet So a Cockney might say "Hang on. I'll just pop up the apples and pears, comb me barnet and get me titfer. ___________________ Commonley, Cockney rhyming slang only uses the first word of the rhyming phrase. So trouble means trouble and strife - wife; heading up the apples means climbing the apples and pears - stairs; these boots won't fit me plates refers to plates of meat - feet; how are you, me old china means how are you: china plate - mate, and so on. I've heard a friend speaking of a trip out to the country and shooting a few nuns for dinner. Nun's habits - rabbits. ____________________
