Do you routinely use (Cockney) rhyming slang in everyday conversation?

[TheTecknician]

I do but only a few examples, e.g. butcher's, half-inch, two and eight. Those are my usual ones. BTW, I am from Yorkshire so I perhaps have no excuse anyway!

My dad did all the time. It was just funny. Get up them apples...

All the time.
Barnet is my personal favourite.

I use apples and pears most days. That's about it.

I use it a lot plus some Yiddish. I'm a Londoner but not cockernee or Jewish. I love slang and language in general. DH is Jewish so I've picked up a lot from him

I’m a Cockney so yes of course. How’s the old one and threes? Knees. Half-inched. Pinched. Claire Rayners. Trainers. My son is a London black cab driver so he uses lots more. I love it x

I use "telling porkies" but I can't think of any others.
Sometimes we say are you having a bath for are you having a laugh (but I don't think that's cockney)
DH is from East London but not cockney but he's always using slang terms for money that I forget what they are - I know a grand and a ton , but can never remember what a pony or a monkey is.

Yes, more than I probably realise too and I’m from Yorkshire! Me and DH often break into cockney accents and talk to each other but I don’t even know why 😂

Reading though this thread, it seems I use more than I realised. Tea leaf, half inch, sky (rocket - pocket), two and eight, pork pies, cream crackered, titfer (only really use that one to be silly).
I remember my grandad telling us to get up them apples and pears to bed. He was from the East end and he used a lot more that I obviously haven't picked up as much.

Oh and blowing a raspberry, which I only recently discovered was rhyming slang ! (Raspberry tart - fart)

Londoner born and bred. I say things are ‘pony’ very regularly (and so does my 5yo…)

Oh yes and all the money ones. Normal round here especially amongst the tradies! Not sure if it’s cockney but also use chippy, sparky etc rather than carpenter or electrician.

Nope, I'm nearly 50 and have never used it (as far as I know). I don't know anyone else that does either

I’ve learnt something - always thought that for skint you said “ brassic” ( thinking of the Northern phrase “ Where there’s muck there’s brass”)

When I was little, DM & DF would say “ Up the apples & pears”.
I sometimes say “ Me old china “ as in China Plate - mate.

No, but I am Scottish and it would sound very odd.

Amy Winehouse was a proud Londoner, and her favourite tube station was High Barnet.

My dad had à cockney rhyming slang dictionary. I never did find it.
He used to say another of cockney because his dad was born and raised in Stepney.
I sometimes say "you're having a giraffe". Not very often though because my cat would just look at me funny.

Aris was cited upthread. I always assumed it was simply a different/jocular pronunciation of arse, but it wasn't that long ago that I learned its actual multi-factor etymology:

'Aris(totle)'
as in 'bottle (and glass)'
as in rhymes with 'arse'!

I've lived in London for 27 years and picked up a bit from exH & his family but round where I am is the "innit" crowd that sounds nothing like Cockney at all. It's a disappearing dialect. My DD has been brought up in SE London and has a neutral accent.🤷‍♀️

But anyway I picked up

'Arris (bottom)
Sausage (attractive woman)
Sort (ditto)
Ruby (curry)
Dubble bubble n a day in loo (doing overtime on a bank holiday)
Brief (very useful)
Oh Bill (inconvenient prejudiced enforcement of the law)
Beat the granny out of you (fight)
Chokey (if the Oh Bill manage to get one over your brief, you end up 'ere)
Guv'nor (boss)

I don't use these myself but I know what they mean. A lot refers to the criminal justice system and contact with thereof.

Yes, like so many on here, once I analyse it, I use loads!

Day in loo - this is 'day in lieu', and isn't slang.

Oh Bill should be 'old Bill'.

Khaki is Cockney slang, but not rhyming slang. It's thought most likely to have come from the Italian for 'house'.

I'm not familiar with 'swede'. What does that mean (apart from the root vegetanle or a person from Sweden)?

@NoBinturongsHereMate I'm writing it phonetically, not how it's actually spelt.

I use a few, titfer (hat), apples and pears (stairs), mince pies (eyes), old china (mate), have a goosey gander (have a look), Pete tong (wrong), porkies (lies). I don’t know why I say all these things, I don’t even know any cockneys 🙃

A bit. DH and I were both born within the sound of Bow Bells, I have a fairly neutral accent and his is less cockney than his mum's but still noticeable. He uses quite a lot more than I do.

I never use any but I suppose it depends where you live. I do understand it (or can guess it) though.
