Cockney Rhyming Slang:
Rhyming slang is a form of slang word construction in the English language that uses rhyme. It is especially prevalent in London. It started in the early 19th century in the East End of London; hence its alternative name, Cockney rhyming slang.
The construction of rhyming slang involves replacing a common word with a phrase of two or three words, the last of which rhymes with the original word; then, in almost all cases, omitting, from the end of the phrase, the secondary rhyming word (which is thereafter implied), in a process called hemiteleia, making the origin and meaning of the phrase elusive to listeners not in the know.
Lighten the load use the “Frog and Toad.”
Keep fit, get off your seat and use your “Plates of Meat.”
Keep fit use the “Apples and Pears.”
