used books,books, Complete Cockney Rabbit: The Ultimate Dick 'n' Arry of Rhyming Slang, George the Third may have been a great monarch but in this book, well, let's just say you wouldn't want him on your carpet. Stephen Fry may occupy a top�place in the acting and writing professions, but in this production he must settle for a spot in a pie and mash shop. Other strange bedfellows include Donald Trump, Brad Pitt, and Egon Ronay, who are often found in the Frank Zappa. Country singer Patsy Cline (line) and racing driver Niki Lauder (powder) get up people's noses and the less said about James Blunt and Paul Anka the better! Ray Puxley, a true cockney lad himself, provides an expert guide through the streets of this sparkling, cheeky, and occasionally outrageous language. Not only is this a "dick 'n' arry" (dictionary) of slang, but origins, dates, and relevant trivia that place the phrase in context are explained, as well as a fascinating introduction on the origins of slang. You'll probably recognize lots of words that you use but don't realize that their origin is in rhyming slang, such as "Toe-Rag." With The Complete Cockney Rabbit you can't go Pete Tong so make a cup of sweet pea and a slice of Sexton Blake and settle down and enjoy this fascinating volume.
