Rhyming slang

The James Blunt one is a re-incarnation.

When the keeper of the Queen's pictures (Sir Anthony Blunt) was found out to be a communist spy I heard people referred to as "A right Sir Anthony".

Plus ca change...

OK, that should therefore be

Ugly, Ugly Sister, Transistor

Which also points us to Cinderella - who has a pair of ugly sisters - another term for the Darlington pair.

A few examples:

Thrupenny bits - tits.

Jodrell Bank - wank.

Brace and bit - shit.

Barnet Fair - hair.

Remember, all the slang is usually shortened down to the first word, thus "nice Barnet", "she hooked out her thrupennies", "he's having a Jodrell", "I'm just off for a brace."

Check the web out for more. And yes, my mum is a proper cockney!

In which case I submit "Bernie" for "vomit". The intermediary stages are left as an exercise for the reader.

That ref was a complete James couldn't deliver the James if his James was bloody counting on it.

Ooh, ooh. Me sir!

I've got Bernie Torme = gourmet and Wallace and Gromit = vomit. Can't think of anything to link them though.

Make it all up on the spot... then later totally contradict what you said...

I hope you worked up a James! (James the 1st, Thirst)

Yeah, I was so drunk I fell in the James (James Bond, pond)
