Trouble and strife=wife.

I got a large list of the terms and what not, but i cant figure out how to use em.

I can get the accent alright, been good with accents for awhile...but i cant get the actual dialect down.

Cock + Knee = Cockney

I'm pretty sure you just throw them in there instead of the normal word.

Does it suck to live on the island?

I don't think that type of cockney slang is really prevalent anymore. The East End or wherever the fuk it is mostly blacks/Indians/Pakis now (like most of London) (no racist), so the slang now is more a mixture of cockney/Jamaican/Hindi/Bangla etc etc etc.

We use rhyming slang in Australia:

Dead Horse: tomato sauce

Hit the frog and toad: hit the road

apple and pears means stairs.

the will quite often omit the rhyming word though, so cutting your hair ---> cutting your barnet fair ---> cutting you barnet

LolGtfo · 03-02-2009, 02:51 AM

Struggle and Grunt = C**t
Bees and honey = money

Green Street Hooligans ftw.

simple rhyming slang:

Dog and bone = phone
Derby kelly (or derby kel') = belly
ha'penny bits (i.e. coins) = tits

and here's a complicated one:

arriss = butt

aristotle = bottle
bottle's and glass = arse

geddit?

its still used alot in the outskirts of london. it used to be pretty much only for people who lived in or near the square mile before finance took over

here is the offical cock knee dictionary:

ogga = hello

bogga = goodbye

cogga = can we do something?

ogga bogga cogga = can i buy you a drink, nice lady?

no, a cockney would said arris when talking about their arse

roland_blanko · 03-02-2009, 03:33 AM

They like to use 'right' for emphasis. IE 'Right proper' or 'Right proper like'

H's are not pronounced. Allo' guv.

Guv is like a term of respect that is used widely.

Bov' = bother = trouble ie spot of bov'
