- bl4k 16y agoClassic cockney is rhyming but two-steps removed. ie. * cocaine -> charlie -> bob marley -> bob * telephone -> dog n' bone -> dog * friend -> mate -> china plate -> china see: "The construction involves replacing the common word with a phrase of two or three words, and then in almost all cases, omitting the original rhyming word, in a process called hemiteleia" from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhyming_slang http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhyming_slang I have heard all three of those examples in common use (especially in South Africa)
- frou_dh 16y agoI like "bunse" from "bunsen burner" from "nice little earner", i.e. money. But from googling just now, it seems it might not be a proper one.
