Rhyming slang
L'argot rimé des Cockneys est impossible à comprendre par un non-initié. Le principe consiste à remplacer un mot par une expression qui rime avec ce mot. Par exemple, Adam and Eve pour believe ou loaf of bread pour head. Pour corser le tout, les Cockneys tronquent parfois la fin de ces expressions dans la conversation : Use your loaf! pour Use your head!. → Cockney
