Rhyming Cockney Slang [antikvár]

PREFACEWhen a technician on the film set of Diamonds are Forever said "It's a bit taters, I get me weasel," everyone laughed but many were bamboozled. Few of them had any idea that the Cockney technician was feeling cold and was off to get his coat. One American on the set said, "that language grabs me but I wish I knew what the hell it was all about".John Mitchell was there and knew very well what the Cockney was saying. And it is to him that I am particularly indebted for setting this glossary on course and giving invaluable help and advice.This small glossary is intended for quick and easy reference - a portable Cockney kit. It is not a definitive work. For reference in depth I would suggest the reader gets hold of Julián Franklyn's A Dictionary of Rhyming Slang - Routledge and Kegan Paul.
