Description

Would you Adam and Eve it? Over a hundred years after it was first heard on the streets of Ye Olde London Towne, Cockney rhyming slang is still going strong, and this book contains the most comprehensive and entertaining guide to date.

Presented in an easy-to-read A to Z format, it explains the meaning of hundreds of terms, from old favorites like apples and pears (stairs) and plates of meat (feet) to more obscure ones like band of hope (soap) and cuts and scratches (matches), as well as modern classics like Anthea Turner (burner) and Ashley Cole (own goal), also providing fascinating insights and quirky facts about Cockney throughout the book.

Also included are a series of language tests, so readers can brush up on their knowledge on their way to becoming a true Cockney Geezer.

Overall, The Ultimate Cockney Geezer's Guide to Rhyming Slang is well worth exploring.
