    Default Rhyming slang etc

    On the topic of seppos not haveing a clue what we are saying I thought some of you old timers could fill them in on what things mean. i.e.

    Get a butchers at this. -> butchers short for butchers hook, rhymed with look. = Have a look at this.

    G'day china -> china short for china plate, rhymed with mate = hello friend.

    Laughing Gear = mouth

    American Screwdriver = big hammer (perhaps a comment on subtelty?)

    Knockometer = hammer

    knockshop = whore house :eek:

    etc ....
    Great minds discuss ideas,
    average minds discuss events,
    small minds discuss people

    Have a Captain Cook - Have a look
    Reggies - undies - Reginal Grundy
    If I do not clearly express what I mean, it is either for the reason that having no conversational powers, I cannot express what I mean, or that having no meaning, I do not mean what I fail to express. Which, to the best of my belief, is not the case.

    Ian,
    It's fairly well known that you'll nearly always find Orchestra Stalls with Elvis the Pelvis's brother Enis.

    Cheers,
