This is great fun (aka This is mother's pearly gate fan!)


I daan't 'ave danny la rue
wot i'm talkin' abaht.
But i'll give it a Scapa Fla anyway.

I golden dove ya in the Day's Dawnin'
I 'ope ya kna wot i'm sayin'.
It's Potatoes in the mould
in the buff to need a quilt.
I fall on the bloody Rory
after dreamy Posh n Becks.

Then I open me mince pies
And clock me teddy bear.
I switch on the bloody Hansel and Gretel
and 'ave a Bruce Lee
before I tickle and bite the next verse.
I can't 'andle this.
Where's me Everton Toffee?

Oh Delta, I can tell this was fun to write... but I have to confess I hardly understood a word of it.

[Delta40]

mould in the buff = cold enough
mince pies = eyes
posh n becks = sex
hansel & gretel = kettle
Bruce Lee = wee
everton toffee = coffee

It makes no sense to me either! I'll get back to being serious soon...

[firefangled]

This sounds naughty to me. That's probably just me, cause I have a tendency to think naughty (doesn't everyone, really), made it hard growing up Catholic...oops! no pun intended.

Even if I don't understand it correctly (mostly based on a reference to a book character Rory??? in British romance novels) and clocking me teddy bear (what a great phrase, is that akin to spanking the monkey?)...no?

Anyway, it was as good for me as I'm sure, as Prince stated, it was for you.

[Delta40]

It was fun. I found a cockney rhyming slang translator so I can't even tell you what I originally wrote...

It reminds me of a poem of neologisms. But maybe that's obvious. Very interesting.

Actually, it's potato mould = cold; it's usually abbreviated to taters.

Dunno what's 'appened to the summer this year. It's atserlutely bloody taters out.

'In the buff' is just slang for 'naked' (which I didn't think was peculiar to Cockney, now I think about it).

You may have got hold of one of those Cockney slang dictionaries that's in fact a load of famblies.

true blue! bloody oath I did mate! :hurray:

[MystyrMystyry]

famblies = family plot > rot


There's a Goodies annual where Graeme Garden provides these examples:

Apples and pears = stairs

Apples and peaches = beaches

Apples and stars = cars

Apples and paint = faint


I wish they'd bring Minder back
