Rhyming slang is entirely made up by whoever says it. It was created as a way to confuse Irish and Scottish workers. What sort of homework was she doing?

Aussie slang Pat malone= by your self.,
captain Cook= have a look.
There are lots of other examples all derived from rhyming slang,probably from cockney rhyming slang.
All the best,

butchers hook = look

The whole point though is that you only use the first part ... example...

It's easy...you work it out :hihi:

China is "mate".

Just to add....the thing I find funny about northern folk is that when they realise I am a southerner (and not Australian!) they do fake cockney accents and include the WHOLE of the rhyming slang....that the use the key word as well and all I do is collapse in heaps of laughter.

Oh well just got up must go down the apples and pears for a cup of rosie lee seeing as my china plate did not bring me one in bed :hihi:

Gertcha :D

My bloke's from Southend and 'e says "Are you 'aving a bubble?" Bubble bath (barf) laugh.
