Alternative sayings

bitemybanger

I think its gas the way words and sayings are replaced with other words that rhyme but have no relevance.
For example,
George raft (draft)
Chickens neck(cheque)
dog an bone(phone)
Gargoyles(gargles or a few drinks)
would you adam an eve it?(would you belive it?)
skin an blister(sister)
jam jar(car)
Sky rocket (pocket)
dicky diver(Fiver)
And my favorite... drop a few kids at the pool (goin for a no2)
Ive heard hundreds more but cant think of them so post all your best ones

its called rhyming slang, and its old unimaginative slang at that

my local circle of friends have proper alternative sayings

blades = money
fear sneachta = bull****ter (derived from the irish for snow man, as in he talks snow white =****e)
head = an expert in their chosen field, derived from musician cirlces (eg a session head)
lolled = drunk. unsure of the origin of this, but probably started with my friends disdain for the term "lol" so anyone stupidly drunk was "lolled out of it"
gorman = cocaine (derived from a local character, who never actually touches the stuff)
lou (reed) = speed
kilmer (val) = slang for valium


folks round my area have an uncanny turn of phrase, eg:
"finally got some blades last night, so i got lolled out of it on lou and kilmers cos the effing fear sneachta had no gorman"

There's actually a theory that the earliest form of rhyming slang originated in Dublin and was exported to London in the 1830's and 40's. There are examples of a number of corrupted Irish words in the early forms.
