Just checking in whilst I wait for replies on my topic. *hint hint* =P

 

I'm tied up in a layby queue whilst there is a tailback on the motorway. I'll use the dog to check with trouble and see that teapots are 'ome for tommy.

Cheers,

(Sorry, I don't know your walkie talkie talk..hahaha)

 

oh, for those unfamiliar with Cockney (East London chat) the translation is:

I'm tied up in a layby queue (rest stop lineup) whilst there is a tailback (traffic jam) on the motorway (highway). I'll use the dog (phone) to check with trouble (wife) and see that teapots (kiddies) are 'ome for tommy (supper).

Cheers,

Jim

Bro. Glen, now I really think you and GrannyGumbo are from the same 'school'. She's been speaking that language all my life and I STILL don't 'comprenday' (see? )! oink,oink!...that's the best I can do! Just give me my good ole southern English!

 

Cockney Rhyme was developed so the marketers could talk to each other without the customers knowing what was going on. It moved to the docks so the workers could talk without the bosses knowing. From there it moved to the gaols so prisoners could talk behind the gaolers backs.

Cockney Rhyme is just that,,it is a rhyme, such as trouble and strife...meaning wife,,,,the word wife rhymes with the last word of the couplet. Most Cockneys just use the first word of the rhyme cos we know the couplet....hence trouble for wife......teapot lids = kids,,,,,or ol' china for old mate,,,or fully china plate.

Then I am going johnnie to meet me ol' china for a cuppa and rabbit about teapots until hickory strikes four unless dog rings with trouble wanting me 'ome afore then for tommy. Teapots must climb apples to visit uncle ted and go winkers.

Then even the bible has been put into Cockney to make it attractive to young people in East London.

"So Jesus made a Jim Skinner for 5000 geezers with just five loaves of Uncle Fred and two Lillian Gish...."

Noah..."built a bloomin' massive nanny...." and.."David, who killed that massive geezer, Goliath, with a slingshot.."

And yes, it is still common talk to-day. Just visit our 'ome when relatives from England are 'ere for a visit.

Cheers,

Jim

Jim, It appears that your speaking in tongues, eh?

 

DHK, I thought the same thing! But, hey...he did interpret it for us...didn't he?...didn't he? Did you get it?

Sorry, Bro. Jim, I guess I would fit in the 'bossy customers jailer's' category. You may as well tried to explain Greek to me! Now, there was this eagle that flew over the coo-coo's nest....

 

It's not Bro.Jim who speaks-in-tongues...it's rotherBay lenGay!

"anCay ouyay peaksay niay igpay atinlay?"

Love ya little, love ya big, love ya like a little pig! Oink-Oink!

 

My, I thought it was clear. Can you imagine talking like that day in and day out?

Then I am going johnnie (round the corner) to meet me ol' china (my old mate) for a cuppa (cup of tea) and rabbit (talk) about teapots (kiddies) until hickory (the clock) strikes four unless dog (the phone) rings with trouble (wife) wanting me 'ome afore then for tommy (supper). Teapots (kids) must climb apples (go upstairs) to visit uncle ted (go to bed) and go winkers (sleep)

Now that wasn't so 'ard now, was it?

By the way, serving time in gaol is doing porridge; the newspaper is a rag and if you are up to the knocker, you are in good condition. So, keep your pecker up (keep smiling).

Cheers in Him,

Jim

PS..Do you really say Uhaul in the deep south?

Yes...Well, who would Adam and Eve it, Jim?....rsr...who would believe it?..hahahaha

Only if someone is moving!

Bro. Jim, it's y'all, not Uhaul...and it's pronounced 'yawl'. We use this term ALL THE TIME. Y'all is short for you all. Yep, just give me my southern English anyday!
