COCKNEY RHYMING SLANG

Cockney rhyming slang originated in the East end of London.

Sort of secret code ,two theories:1-invented by prisoners who wanted to communicate with one another without the guards understanding 2-that market vendors invented it to be able to speak without the customers understanding them.

It works by taking a pair of connected words (e.g. Boat race) and the second word rhymes with the word you want to hide. (e.g. She’s got a beautiful boat– meaning she’s got a beautiful face!) (Sometimes it can be one word that just rhymes with the word you want to hide).

A: Are you taking anything for it? B: I put some cream on it but it doesn’t seem to be helping. A: I see. Are you allergic to any medications? B: Not that I know of.
