<p>[QUOTE=&quot;the blacksmith, post: 9571623, member: 20148&quot;]&#039;Saucepan lids&#039; I know as kids. Some use the term &#039;dustbin lids&#039;, for the same meaning. The latter is used by some to refer to the Jewish community, not in a derogatory way I must stress, it is just their way of talking, but dustbin lid, or &#039;four by two&#039; is often heard.</p><p>We use the same, as &#039;plant pot&#039;, but I know it as &#039;barn pot&#039;, though I am not sure where from, or why.</p><p>I once heard the Queens Christmas speach translated into rhyinig slang, it was hilarious! </p><p>&#039;As I sit here at the cain and able, in front of the old Jeremiah. Philip has just rolled in from the rub a dub, which is just a short way down the frog and toad, having had a few pigs ears, and he is totally elephant&#039;s trunk. But we send you all our warmest pots and dishes...............&#039;.</p><p>Rub a dub, can also be &#039;battle&#039;, as in battle cruiser-boozer. Elephants trunk, is normally Brahms &amp; Liszt- Pi**ed.</p><p>I learned rhyming slang as part of my early working life, but not being a Cockney ( I&#039;m a &#039;Sarf (South) Londoner&#039;, not an East ender, I cannot always vouch for the veracity of the slang, only as I learned it, though that was nearly fifty years ago, long before it sort of became cool. In those days though, around the markets, it was perfectly normal language.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
