A Cockney is anybody that was/is born within the sound of the famous Bow Bells in the east-end of London, UK. The Cockneys have their own secret language known only to the working class and lower class people of London (Cockney's) called Cockney rhyming slang.
A few examples of some Cockney rhyming slang are:
- Apples 'n Pears - stairs
- Butcher's (butcher's hook) - look
- China (china plate) - mate (friend)
- Daisy roots - boots
- Frog 'n toad - road
- Loaf (loaf of bread) - head
- Mince pies - eyes
- Mothers ruin - gin
- Mutt and Jeff - deaf
- Old Joanna - piano
- Plates of meat - feet
- Rosie Lee - tea
- Taters (potatoes in the mould) - cold
- Tea leaf - thief
- Titfer (tit for tat) - hat
- Trouble and strife - wife
- Whistle and Flute - suit
Cockney is a sort of language originating in Cheapside or south London. It rhymes uncommon words with the referent to act as a sort of code. Examples, apples and pears means stairs but more recently Britney Spears is used as slang for stairs. Sometimes the whole rhyme stands as a substitute but mostly only one word is the replacement. China plate means mate but the word china is the only part used. Plate of meat means feet but only the word plates is used. Trouble and strife is used as a substitute for wife. Chalk farms is used for arms. Loaf of bread means head but loaf is the substitute word. Daily mail means tale.
