What have you noticed?

Great Britain

Cockney rhyming slang

• the East end of London.
• Secret code language 
• Invented by prisoners who wanted to communicate with one another.
• Market vendors invented it to be able to speak without the customers understanding them.
• Take a pair of connected words (eg. Boat race) and the second word rhymes with the word you want to hide. 
• You can then use just the first word of the connected to pair to refer to the word you want to hide, or you can use the pair of words. (eg. She’s got a beautiful boat – meaning she’s got a beautiful face!) (Sometimes it can be one word that just rhymes with the word you want to hide)
