[Sussex] Rhyming Slang - Do You Use It?

[pasty]

Septic as in Septic Tank = yank, though I tend to use CSY = cock sucking yank.

Are you a bit Savlon then?

That and the Mastermind "answering the question before last" sketch are two of the best written, cleverest and funniest comedy sketches ever made. I now giggle in anticipation of "small brown Richard III" rather than it actually happening.

They're a right tin.

Not really. Years ago a US colleague started referring to us as FLB’s = ****ing Limey ******** which was rather amusing.

One of the lesser known ones I've sometimes use is is ' Taters ' as in describing the weather outside as being cold. The derivation is ' potatoes in the mould' which then just becomes ' taters '

Mork and Mindy - windy

I quite like the "modern" ones:

Leo Sayer = All-dayer

Brittney Spears = Beers

Walter Mitties = you get the idea...

etc.

Love rhyming slang, and spend far too much time thinking of new ones.

Always Fun to try and crowbar an Albion ref into it. For example, a Ruby Murray can be a Bert or a Glenn instead. Or Neil McNab for crab, in deference to his penchant for sideways passing and his Nickname of McCrab due to that….

Still use going for a Bert

 

[B-right-on]

I say "I'm going for a Palace"

Not rhyming slang but everyone knows what I mean.

 

[lawros left foot]

Everyone uses it, even if they don’t know it.


For example, Bottle, bottle and glass, class.

Or, alternatively, ‘arris’ ( as in sit on your arris) Aristotle- bottle and glass,- arse.

Stoolball and Twiterns, absolute Sussex.

We played stoolball at school . .had no idea at the time . . .my last house, (cottage really) was on a twitten. I never knew that was a Sussex word either

Trugs too, my grandmother always had one and we still do . . . Although that word has travelled

I was working with some lads and one said “are you coming down the Colonel?” I had no clue what he meant until he said Colonel Gadaffi - cafe.

Brighton fans are often called iron hoofs.

I always found it quite funny that West Ham fans, love to sing "come on you Irons", what with West Ham being a proper cockney area.

No I don't, you Berk.

That’s rude - very rude!
