Cockney Rhyming Slang
Cockney Rhyming Slang is a unique form of English slang originating from the East End of London. It involves replacing a word with a phrase that rhymes with it, often dropping the rhyming part. For example, "stairs" might be referred to as "apples and pears," but one would simply say "apples" when using it in conversation.
This playful language adds a layer of creativity and humor to everyday speech. While it can be entertaining, it may also be confusing for those unfamiliar with the phrases. Over time, some expressions have become widely recognized, while others remain specific to Cockney culture.
