LONDON SLANG - INTRODUCTION

Introduction
The English language contains a rich array of slang words and phrases. This can
be particularly seen when examining the day to day language of the average Londoner.
A great many London slang terms derive from the Cockney tradition and fall into the
bracket of ‘Rhyming Slang’. Other terms have been introduced by the influx of other
cultures into the capital. The resulting mishmash has created what academics sometimes
call ‘Estuary English’ (after the area of the Thames Estuary), although this term is used
more to describe the accent used in the area. On these pages I hope to gather many of
these terms, together with a brief explanation of them. Most of the list was initially
compiled from my own and friends knowledge and I have used other written sources to
add to these. As time has gone on many of the entries have come from visitors to the
site.
I realise that some words and phrases are perhaps a bit too ‘non pc’ for general
consumption and have omitted these. Even so, many of the following will offend some
people and I would like to state that their inclusion is to provide a realistic
representation of the language, not to be sensational or abusive. It is the nature of slang
that it is either used to replace taboo phrases or to playfully enhance them, this is
unavoidable when compiling a list of this sort.
I have not included an exhaustive list of ‘Rhyming Slang’ terms but have
focused on the specific phrases that are still widely used all around the capital. I have
also collected a number of newer phrases that are labelled ‘Modern Rhyming Slang’
which I have come across over the last few years. It remains to be seen if these terms
will be accepted as bona fide ‘Rhyming Slang’ in the future, but I feel their inclusion at
least provides an up to date picture. There are a number of pages on the ‘net’ that focus
on ‘Rhyming Slang’ in more detail, but these largly focus on the historic terms that are
only used by a very small group of people which I feel gives a rather cliched view of
Londoners. I have included links to some of these on the links page.
In reality there are very few people who use Rhyming Slang in it’s traditional form. My
intention is that the site will be used to record the terms that are used by a wide variety
of people and I feel that I should stress that a lot of the terms are used in a tongue-in-
cheek way. We do not all walk around saying “Cor blimey mate, love a duck I fell down
the apples and pears” !

choosing the ‘Suggest Slang’ button from the me London Slang - Just Heard

Just Heard
In this section I will list some of the new slang terms that I have heard once or
twice that may or may not catch on eventually. Some of these are favourites of mine
that I think deserve a wider audience. If the term has been suggested by a visitor to
my site I have included their name or username.
I am always interested in hearing any phrase or saying that you may think is only
used amongst your friends so please sent them in and they may appear here. From time
to time I may move entries from this page into the main alphabetical listing if I am
convinced they are fairly widespread (although I never seem to get the time at the
moment !). aeroplane blond - one who has dyed her hair but still has a ‘black box”!
aeroplane skirt - a skirt with a very long slit up it that goes all the way up to the
‘cockpit’. Suggested by Matthew Harris. April in Paris - a bit of a weird one this. This
is taking well-known complex bit of Rhyming Slang to the next level! ‘April in Paris’ =
‘Aris’ = ‘Aristotle’ = ‘bottle’ = ‘bottle and glass’ = ‘arse’ ! Suggested by Alec Sterling.
back wheels - balls, testicles. An example of this excellent suggestion from James Muir
would be “Cor, I got a great blowjob last night, she even got me back wheels in!”. You
could also use vulgar terms like “Right up to the back wheels” etc. badger scratching -
to feel a woman’s vagina. i.e. “Wouldn’t mind doin’ a bit of badger scratching with
her”. Suggested by Simon Dodson. badly packed kebab - a vulgar (but still excellent)
term for the ‘vagina’. Suggested by Catherine Schrier (which makes it more OK to put
on the site!). This one will do the rounds I’m sure.
Barry White - Modern Rhyming Slang for ‘shite’ (northern sounding version of
shit). e.g. “Just nipping out for a Barry!”. Suggested by Matt Rodway. Basil Boli
(footballer) - Modern Rhyming Slang for ‘tolli/toley/toly’ which apparently is Scottish
slang for ‘turd’?? e.g. “I’m just nipping out for a Basil”. Suggested by Derek Dunbar.
Bazil Brush - Modern Rhyming Slang for ‘thrush’ (the condition). Suggested
 by Lee McCloud. Also ‘dust pan and brush’.

On’. It was used in the context of a relationship - “No mate, she’s Battle of Hastings”.
Anyone know of this one?

sort of bloke who, no matter what you have, always has one more or does one better.

alcopops. Suggested by Mark Nolan and already used by me and my mates! “What’s
that bitch piss you’re drinking, get a pint dahn yer”. blob hammock - original
suggestion for sanitary towel by Glenn Atkins. Bob Marley - another Modern Rhyming
Slang term for ‘charlie’ (cocaine). If used in it’s short form (i.e. ‘Bob’) it could be
confused with the older term ‘Bob Hope’ (dope).

popular one at the moment.
Britney Spears - Modern Rhyming Slang for ‘beers’, e.g. “Give us a couple of

show.

boiler”. Suggested by Paul Webb and also by Tristian Paramor. busted sofa - an

Named so because it is common to visit one before going out on the booze! Suggested

bad case of the Flight Lieutenants”. Suggested by Jon Macfarlane who saw this in an
Irvine Welsh book. float a sausage to the seaside - to have a shit. A term that has been
suggested by a few people. This one is one of many similar phrases (see ‘see a brown
friend off to the coast’, ‘drop the kids off at the pool’) which may originate from the
comic Viz.
Frank and Pat - Modern Rhyming Slang for ‘chat’, e.g. “Do you ever stop your
Frank and Pat!”. After the well-known couple in Eastenders, the UK soap. front/four
wheel skid - Modern Rhyming Slang for ‘Yid’ (Jew). Suggested by Simon. furry

suggested by Tania Baird.
Hale and Pace - Modern Rhyming Slangfor ‘face’. Named after the comedy duo, e.g.
"When you're stoking the fire you don't worry about the Hale!". Suggested by Nick
Rogers. Harry-big-button - One of my favourites, this comes from a friend of mine and
is used to describe cheap-looking electrical goods with big buttons and naff design. An
example would be "I've got a new car, it's alright but the stereo's a bit Harry-big-button'.
This one tends to catch on with others and I would be very interested if anyone else had
heard it. (Suggested by R. Bushby.) I've had one email on this saying from a Brian
Jones who uses the term "Harry-clunk-buttons" after those cheap Harry Moss car

(LSD). Suggested by Keith Giles. Johnny-no-stars - a young man of substandard
intelligence, i.e. the typical adolescent who works in a burger restaurant. The 'no-stars'
bit comes from the badges displaying stars that staff at fast-food restaurants often wear
which show their level of training. Johnny Vaughn - it's only right that the man from
'The Big Breakfast' who as popularised many slang terms should have one using his
moniker. This one is Modern Rhyming Slang for 'porn' (pornography). Heard and
suggested by Matt Helm. kryptonite - Modern Rhyming Slang for 'web site'. One of the
few terms I've heard for this. Suggested by Chris Lambeth. kung fu fighter - Modern

urinate). A modern version of 'Jack/Frasier Nash'. Suggested by Jason Bicknell. Paul
Weller - another bit of Modern Rhyming Slang for 'Stella' (the beer Stella Artois).
Suggested by Tom Willis.
Pearl Harbour - cold (weather). This is one I have heard from a fair few
people recently. An example of it would be "It's a bit Pearl Harbour out
there!". Meaning - there's a nasty 'nip' in the air! This comes from the
well-known surprise attack by Japanese planes on the American port in

people, e.g. " I'm just nipping out to release a chocolate hostage".

when you want to add more emphasis. Suggested by Adam Pyne.

a few people.
Samantha Janus - Modern Rhyming Slang for 'anus'. After the popular bit of
British totty. Suggested by Ian Atkinson.
Schindler's List - Modern Rhyming Slang for 'pissed' (drunk). Suggested by
Kevin Joslin.
scope - a replacement for the un-pc term 'spastic' used by many a school
child to ridicule someone inept or stupid. I think this was at least part
of the reason the charity 'The Spastic Society' changed their name to
'SCOPE'. Trust slang terms to update with it! Suggested by Vincent
Duckworth.

for going to the toilet. Suggested by Trevor Burton.

sword fighting - a term for when a woman performs oral sex on two men at
the same time.
Tarka (the otter) - Modern Rhyming Slang for 'dot her. A bit of an odd one
this, but to 'dot' someone is to perform anal intercourse on them (because
the anus resembles a full stop), e.g. "Oi mate, did you Tarka?". Suggested
by Stuboy.
tart fuel - similar to 'bitch piss', bottled alcopops regularly drunk by
young women. Suggested by Paul McCloskey.
tea towel holder - the anus. Derived from the fact that those round
plastic holders that you push tea towels into resemble the anus. Suggested

something your wife/girlfriend can whisper to you on the way home from an

Turkish mate!". Suggested by W Sparks.
