    I teach a weekly lesson on slang from various English speaking countries, if you want to PM me your email address I can email you all the work sheets I have used over the last 3-4 months.

    There are some really odd slang terms used around the world.
    Examples!

    I can give you some of the gangsta wannabe street talk hoodlem slang if you want?
  • holly ghost..toast
  • gregory peck - neck
  • Your greg is your neck, never known it to be cheque?

    ie; er mate, get that lager down your greg

    & as someone said above, rarely do you use the full phrase, just the unryhming part normally, like "have a butchers at that" rather than "have a butchers hook at that"

    Those bookie terms, neves, ruof, cockle, bottle, ching etc thought that was just general terms for numbers, not originated from bookies?

    Nursery Rhyme 'Pop goes the Weasel' was a cautionary tale about poverty.
    to 'Pop' was to pawn something - in this case the 'Weasel' – a mis-pronunciation of Whistle (see above).
    As with most rhyming slang, the rhyming part remains unsaid to confuse anyone not ITK!
    Apples = Stairs
    One for the Frog = One for the road
    etc.
