China reminds me of Cockney Rhyming Slang, as in
"Alright me old china?"

Dodgy

GetOrfMoiLand · 09/07/2009 18:03

Blame - what does China mean in rhyming slang?

I like China (and India for that matter) for names, but think Jamaica is a bit ott.

HuffwardlyRudge · 09/07/2009 18:25

It was a bit crappy of you to do a face when someone told you her children's names though.

DiamondHead · 09/07/2009 18:26

Yes China is vagina, that's why the T'pau song was considered so hysterical when I was at school.

'China in my hand'

DiamondHead · 09/07/2009 18:27

I had a Victorian relative called Argentine.

weegiemum · 09/07/2009 18:31
