    I've had BBQ ribs from the chinese tonight & they serve them in golden syrup - really reminded me of bacon & maple syrup - once I started dipping prawn crackers in the syrup I had to get DH to take it away before I ate them all!

    Forgive the thread necromancy, but I came across this online and Megg didn't know if some of them were quite accurate. We both suspect some aren't true but I wanted to check to make sure.

    On this chart, how many of these are fake, I know some are accurate, but I hope that some aren't.

    Where the hell did they get most of them from?!?

    Maybe they were trying to go for 'cockney rhyming slang' but got it totally wrong?

    Face = boat race

    That's all I could think was that maybe it was improper cockney. I can't wrap my head around cockney. :( It makes me crazy!

    I'm with Megg... i see that it rhymes, but why the apples part of apples & pears, why not just pears?

    Exactly, Lisa! And, how do you know which rhyming word to use. Lots of things rhyme... but I think there must be some convention to it or no one would understand it as a form of slang, yeah?

    Cos it sounds better. Actually it doesnt but people must think it does. My OH says stupid things like boat race and it winds me up. I just ignore him until he talks properly lol

    :rofl: When my OH doesn't make sense, its not because he's using cockney... its because he's a guy and he doesn't always make sense! (Sorry, honey!) He (phoenixgeek) reads/posts here too! LOL
