a fish-and-shrimp slap to the face
every week (for the past 6 years), i have been sharing a few choice f-words from my various niche dictionaries. this week’s words are from rude rhyming slang, compiled by tom nind (2003).
in the preface, mr. lind notes the distinction between rude rhyming slang and rhyming cockney slang, “rude rhyming slang doesn’t exist to prevent understanding or hide meaning but came into being simply to give the user the chance to express himself in a more colourful way.”
if it is colour that you seek, it is colour that you shall have (warning while the euphemisms below are creative and benign, the words that they euphemise are highly licentious and MAY offend your sensibilities if you are a sissy):
- famer giles: piles
- feather plucker: fucker
- fillet of cod: sod
- fine & dandy: randy
- fish & shrimp: pimp
- fleas & ants: pants
- flying duck: fuck
- forrest gump: dump
- four by four: whore
- fun & frolicks: bollocks
now before certain feather pluckers among you get your fleas & ants in a knot over the vulgarity above and develop an urge to knee me in my fun & frolicks, please be mindful of the fact that raynor ganan is not writing this post, my fillet of codding roboblogger is.
