Synopsis

Brad Pitt is a piece of excrement with a perfectly chiselled body and handsome features. Britney Spears beers (in London); queers (in Ireland). Don't confuse the two. pogo stick prick. A penis of obviously impressive proportions. Here is a compilation of the coarsest of Cockney rhyming slang...The origins of Cockney rhyming are unclear, since the sort of people who first used it weren't likely to write memoirs, but it was probably done to keep non-Cockneys ignorant of what was being said. Thus, an innocent-sounding word could be used to mean a rude one. The dialect is full of pitfalls for the innocent, but with this easy-to-use dictionary you should be able to slip into Cockney circles smoothly, without anyone ever suspecting that you are some sort of West London Charlie Ronce.
