Cockney Rhyming Slang (Old British Words)

Cockney Rhyming Slang is a form of phrase construction in the English language. It was originally used and created in East London. The Cockney Slang involves the construction and replacement of a common word with a rhyming phrase or word. This way of speaking is very famous in the United Kingdom and especially in London it self. It is still widely spoken therefore i thought i would enlighten PIMD with a miniature Cockney Slang Dictionary. Perhaps you will find this useful and you may want to try it yourself.
