Rhyming slang is a subject of perennial interest to the general language-conscious public. This book, with entries arranged in topic areas, such as clothing, food and drink, animals, sex and illness, illustrates how rich and entertaining a language form it is. Through extensive examples, John Ayto explores the range and development of rhyming slang during its 150 year history, from the bees and honey , oily rag and Uncle Ned of traditional Cockney rhyming slang to the popney rhyming slang of today.Product Identifiers
