| February 23rd, 2010 at 03:06pm its not ment to be funny, its just slang
Its how cockney rhyming slang works, it was a code started by criminals so they could communicate without worrying about people listening in. My grandfather is a big fan of it. |

| February 23rd, 2010 at 03:14pm I thought cockney rhyming slang was something that was pretty well known, all it is taking something that rhymes with something and running with it
the term anti-septic only came about cause you start with yank to tank to septic tank, which is the term for an american therefor to be antiseptic is to be antiamerican |
