Melanie, you are sounding a little Cockney there.

There are a lot of Cockney expressions that will drive people around Johnny. We tend to end a lot of saying as if they were a question. One popular expression is "innit". "That's a fine mess, innit." It is not a question.

In Cockney we rhyme words such as apples and pears for stairs, but we only use the non-rhyming word when we speak. So, we are going apples,,,,if we are going upstairs.

Cheers,

Jim

I would rather hear any of the above listed words and phrases than the cursing and offensive slang that is so common today.

 

Saying Condom for Condominium. A lady I knew said her dog ran around in her condom like he owned the place.

 

There are some short forms which just don't fit!

Cheers,

Jim
