When you are learning English you may come across some difficult phrases that you don't understand. They could be some Cockney Rhyming Slang. In this lesson you will learn what it is and how you can use it.
I couldn't Adam & Eve it! I've had to take a Ball down the Frog to the Rub for a Tumble to get over it. The Trouble isn't a Londoner, but understands the Lingo if I lapse into the vernacular.
Allo ducky. I'm a Canadian, and my grand-dad had a music hall act in Kent when he met my grand-ma, who was a tweenie in London. He settled to a life-style as a meter reader in Maidstone for SEGAS and used all of the Cockney rythyming stuff when I was a little geezer. In seems he disliked my sister and myself, and made this known to my my Mum and Dad. It seems that the Cockney experience is not transferable to all and sundry as a concept. All Cockneys are not cool.
So, if one is not familiar with the reference forming the basis for the rhyme, Cockney slang is an impenetrable barrier to communication.
