Ví dụ
Used mostly between 1880-1920, Cockney rhyming slang originated (bắt nguồn) from criminals wanting to describe things between themselves without being caught out. They used rhyming (gieo vần) phrases to repace real words. For example, “apples and pears” was used to replace “stairs,” while “pork pies” was used to replace “lies.”
“It’s just two people having a conversation, which has been a joy for me, because if they put a script in front of me I’d probably get the tin tack (Cockney rhyming slang for sack).
Do you like a nice cup of 'Rosie Lee' at night before you head up the 'apples and pears' to your 'Uncle Ted'? Apologies - for those aged under 25, you may not understand the statement above or be familiar (quen thuộc) with the famous London dialect of Cockney rhyming slang.
Don’t you just love Cockney rhyming slang? With its quaint (lạ lùng) vocabulary and the images it conjures of Pearly Kings and Queens singing Knees Up Mother Brown, and using the phrase “How’s your father” for reasons no one can quite fathom?
