		tsujp on Oct 13, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Cockney Rhyming Slang History I'm curious, is there any canonical cockney rhyming slang for "dictionary" or "thesaurus"? Failing that does anyone have any suggestions to add to the lexicon for either or?

I'd certainly be Pete Tong for canonical[1], but suggest County and vegetarian, respectively? (County Tipperary, vegetarian brontosaurus)

[1] posting anyway as I suspect those two examples may be somewhat judicially to have a common slang Dickie. (judicially hyperkalemic, Dickie Bird)
