Hey people!
What's the didldydory?

If you know any rhyming slang then LadyJ wants to hear it!

I only know bits and pieces and I'm hoping that,with your help,more of my sentences will look like this...ahem hem...

"I'm not feelin the may west so get on the dog and bone and call me a joe maxi!" :cool:

So come on,help a lady out! And remember,take it ham and cheesy!

Not quite ryhming slang, more spoonerism.

I'm off for a Tom Hank and then for a Barry White.

Blisterman · 24-04-2005 2:55pm

I have yet to hear anyone here in london who actually speaks like that.

What was it that Mike Myers said... going across the frog 'n toad for some jockeys whips... perhaps that way of speaking is like the stereotypical irish accent you see on the simpsons, rarely heard but funny when you do

When I was younger it was a J Arthur ( I suspect it still is as Tom has an 's' at the end of his name).

Works best if you leave out the actual rhyming bit (Rank is missing from the above) so people ask you why a fiver is a lady and wonder why a head is a loaf.

I'd be too lazy to use rhyming slang myself - it's had its place (mostly in a different country) but these days for most it'd be a mere affectation.
