This podcast is all about cockney rhyming slang. Find out about this strange but interesting language quirk which exists in London.

 

The phrases I look at include:

The apples and pears (stairs)

To be brown bread (dead)

A butcher's hook (a look)

A China plate (a mate)

To be cream crackered (nackered)

The dog and bone (the phone)
