Cockney Slang and other nicknames
Rhyming Slang phrases are derived from taking an expression which rhymes with a word and then using that expression instead of the word. For example the word "look" rhymes with "butcher's hook". In many cases the rhyming word is omitted - so you won't find too many Londoners having a "bucher's hook" at this site, but you might find a few having a "butcher's".
Some examples are as follows:
Apples and pears = Stairs (“he ran up the apples and pears to his room”)
Adam and Eve = Believe (“Can you Adam and Eve it?”)
Jam Jar = Car (“Get in the jam jar”)
Whistle and flute = Suit (“I got in me whistle and flute”)
