Sorry guys, got called away and had to leave you to it!!! Thanks Sweet, that was awesome, couldn't have done it better myself!!! I like it when we completely confuse the men, you can almost see them squirm.
Well, just got to go and put my currant bun to uncle Ted , then will lock the Rory o'Mores
settle down with a tiddly wink of mothers ruin and might just get a little elephants trunk, its been a shepherds plaids day! I need a feather and flip because I'm cream crackered!
Cockney slang originates from the East end of London, and was intended to allow the locals to chat without being understood by outsiders.
Some forms of slang are very old, but current day expressions get used too. Often the original expression gets shortened or corrupted....for example, Bottle and Glass = arse (ass or butt to some of you)....Aristotle = Bottle...becomes Aris.
Putting some older expressions (in full) into a context, have a go a decoding this...
I left the rub a dub late, and drove the jamjar down the frog and toad to the cat and mouse. The old pot and pan was waiting up, sat at the cain and abel, and he gave me such a butchers hook.
‘What time do you call this?’ he said. ‘You went out with your skin and blister for a ruby murray hours ago. Too much rabbit and pork, that’s your trouble – and a few vera lynn’s from the state of you – you’re brahms and liszt! I suppose you’ve been flashing your Bristol Citys at the Merchant bankers down the battlecruiser!! ‘
‘Don’t you adam and eve it’ I replied, ‘I tried calling you on the dog and bone, but you are either mutt and jeff or you were having a j arthur rank! We had a couple of tiddlywinks with some china plates, and came straight back! Next you’ll be wanting me up them apple and pears for a Friar Tuck! Well, you can take your mince pies off my raspberry ripples, get on your plates of meat and head for the spare room!’
He can be a right Hampton Wick at times!!
Being an Aussie i understand most of what Sweets said and I will translate
I left the PUB late, and drove the CAR down the ROAD to the HOUSE. The old MAN was waiting up, sat at the TABLE, and he gave me such a LOOK.
‘What time do you call this?’ he said. ‘You went out with your SISTER for a ruby murray(not sure on that one) hours ago. Too much TALK, that’s your trouble – and a few GINS from the state of you – you’re PISSED(drunk for the yanks)! I suppose you’ve been flashing your TITTIES at the WANKERS down the BOOZER(pub)!! ‘
‘Don’t you adam and eve(not sure) it’ I replied, ‘I tried calling you on the PHONE, but you are either MUTE or DEAF or you were having a WANK! We had a couple of DRINKS with some MATES, and came straight back! Next you’ll be wanting me up them STAIRS for a FUCK! Well, you can take your EYES off my NIPPLES, get on your FEET and head for the spare room!’

How'd I go sweets?
Not bad at all! ruby murray = curry and adam and eve = believe
Of course, I did make it easier by quoting the full slang...often the expressions used get shortened.....so Bristol Citys = Bristols; Dog and bone = dog; China plate = china.
There are several slang expressions commonly used here which are derived from cockney slang, and often the original meaning has been forgotten...for example, a stupid man might get called a berk, which seems fairly innocuous - until you remember that this is a foreshortening of Berkshire Hunt....!!

Thank you thank you! My old man's mother was a pommy so he has picked up alot of the slang and passed it down the line. Some I wasnt sure on but they are pretty easy tp pick up in the context of the writing. Of course in Australia they have become adapted and I just make my own up
FUCK me and the southen shandy drinkers take the piss out of us northeners 4 the we talk
I can't believe you would take the time to post something and go through absolutely zero effort to make it a coherrent thought. Territorial slang is one thing, but I think your post is based on the inner workings of garbled thoughts. Maybe I'm wrong and that's the way you really talk. But I am very confused, just so you know.

I still don't know what you mean.
Since your first post, I haven't cared much for any of your comments or attitude. In my previous post I was not attacking you; I was trying to tell you that I can't imagine that anyone would have understood what you were trying to say. Even your response to my post isn't very clear. All I can make out is that you are trying to attack me because of where I was born and where I live. I am choosing not to engage in your attacks. That would be a waste of time for me to keep posting and for everyone else here to read. I have learned from/about and respect many people on these boards who are from all over the globe. I appreciate their friendship and their respect about where I am from.
Like the great philosopher Popeye The Sailorman said, "I am what I am."

Fair enough.
Then please accept my apologies if I went off half-cocked. both of your posts were hard to understand. Perhaps if you used a little more punctuation and gave it a quick read before you posted it would help. I have lots of typos and stuff like that too because I have to squeeze posts in while at work, so I know what it can be like.
Woman, without her man, is nothing.
that's one of several that could work.
That was the most common that people came up with. Them some little goodie goodie girl who probably doesn't have dinner on the table when her husband gets home, went up to the chalkboard and did this:
or just the rhymy lingo thing?
