>A few weeks ago I was talking about rhymning slang, usually attributed to cockneys, e.g.
>"Apples and rears" = stairs, "plates o' meat" = feet, "Lilian Gish" = fish, "dog & bone" = phone. The thing is that the rhymning bit isn't said, but is understood by the listener, e.g.
In Goldmember when Mike Myers character is talking to Michael Cain on the bed, is that Cockney rhyming slang?
