To JP: I was reared, trained, and bred in my younger days of yore, in Elephant & Castle and Kennington. S. E. 17, before I was ex-pat. This rhyming slang can cause confusion due to its capricious nature of creating neologisms which are not universal, by slapping together words at one's whim.

@@starzy8288 That's because "awaight" is a modern variant that was never part of the original Cockney accent. In the original Cockney, the "r" was pronounced so it sounded more like "awright". It's really sad that the original Cockney has been lost over the years due to too much cross culture. Try watching the musical "Oliver" and you'll hear a much better depiction of the original Cockney accent and not "de saaf London speak yer get dare na."

As an American I can understand most accents of English. We have a lot of them here on this side of the pond. I can even understand them when the speaker is three sheets to the wind, but there is one accent that perplexed me. I found myself sitting next to a dockworker from Liverpool in a bar in Medan, Sumatra back in the late 70's. He was well into his cups when he initiated conversation and for the life of me I couldn't understand a word he was saying. All I could do was nod at what seemed to be the appropriate times..

It's really weird. My mother was English but I was born and raised in New Zealand. I always pronounced innit, fanks, bruvver and summing (something) etc growing up. It just seemed easier to get out and not so posh. As a Kiwi growing up in the 60s and 70s I was typically using G'day a lot and virtually every sentence ending with 'ay'. I emigrated to England in the late 80s for 14 years and the past 20 years I have been in Ireland with very little if any Kiwi interaction. My brother who lives in Australua since the mid 90s came to visit me in Ireland a few years ago and he kept on telling me I said 'Yeah Nah' a hell of a lot. I was completely unaware I was even saying it, and in the 60s to 80s there was no highlighting of New Zealanders using this term. Nowadays it is a very common thing for a Kiwi to say. I can't for the life of me understand how I picked up the Yeah Nah having been away from NZ for 34 years. But I still proudly have a Kiwi accent

I'm English and although I did already know almost all the rhyming slang, it's worth pointing out that no-one has spoken like that ever except as a joke. Individual phrases are still fairly common in London and it was probably more common a long time ago. I lived in London for 20 years, 20 years ago and even then no-one spoke like that even in a jellied eel emporium (which is a real thing and the most Cockney thing ever). Cockney rhyming slang is principally meant to be funny but it cannot be compared to rural dialects in Italy for example where that really is the mother tongue of people in a specific region.

No sensible working class person would ever go to the police. More harm than good. We usually solve these matters through diplomacy believe it or not. One example from my own life is how I was robbed earlier this year, rather than being a filthy rat, I just talked to the guy and tried to resolve it. It's a better and more peaceful way of settling things in neighborhoods that already have too much senseless violence.

My father's friend, who spoke almost entirely in rhyming slang, introduced my parents to some friends of his as Crystal & Fred. My mother, trying to break the ice, said to the lady, "Crystal, what a pretty name". The response was "Me name ain't Crystal luv, it's Alice, Crystal Palace-Alice.

That last line where your cousin didn't understand you speaking Cockney made me think of that movie Cockneys vs Zombies where a lot of east Londoners are constantly unable to understand each other because they're always trying to outslang each other Then there's an old guy halfway through the movie who rhyming slangs the rhyming slangs sometimes several layers deep so whenever he's forced to explain it it takes a whole minute 😂😂😂

But although my hobby of guessing which area a person is from has become more of a challenge, it's still an enjoyable icebreaker. Aunt vs "ant" being the reply to *"who comes to the picnic if you invite your Mom's sister?" Tee hee: My New England Mum made me speak the Queen's English at home. Code switching was an early lesson! The Queen's English has been a lasting gift---but would have gotten me beaten up as a snob on the mean streets---so i also speak Spanglish and can "ax yo mama kin yu go to de sto". I've wondered what a formally trained ESL student makes of polyglot American English more than once!

My grandad (born in London's East End in the 1890's) spoke fluent rhyming slang when he was with his mates but could turn it on and off as the situation required. There were (are) literally thousands of phrases to learn. It seemed to me that its primary purpose was humour but there was also almost something tribal about it. My guess is that it fell out of mainstream use when shipping moved to containers and London Docks went into decline (in the 1960's).

@@pinkyman5155 You are probably right but I had always though of cockney slang as a badge of honor for "true" East Endenders (born within range of Bo Bells) and therefore primarily dockers. They were a very tight knit community and had their own code (you could not get a job on the docks unless you had a father or uncle working there). My grandfather (a blacksmith, who shooed horses at the large horse stables at Camden) was born half a mile outside the approved radius and he described himself as not a genuine cockney, with some obvious envy.

I grew up in South London and had a stronger Cockney accent as a child, we moved outside of London and my English teacher gave me a hard time because of my accent saying I don't speak the Queens English, and some family members use to berate me over it, I have worked hard to try and loose it, for a long time I felt ashamed of it, even now I still fall back into it especially when angry or speaking to family who still have it, funny thing is the family members who went on at me about my accent now have a stronger Cockney accent than me 😂, but I will say that people never had a problem understanding me, infact a French student at school had problems understanding everyone else but me.

I have a mix of Welsh, northern and posh in my grandparents and great grandparents, but most of the later generation are born and bred in Sussex. My grandparents speak with received pronunciation, as did my northern Great grandmother (at least when my grandad was growing up most of the time.) So I picked up a bit from them naturally. For instance, I say miwk instead of silk and I only use a glottal stop half of the time. People always come up to me asking where I come from and what my accent is but it's just the same accent as them with a sprinkle of RP 😂 my parents have really thick estuary accents with my dad having more London influence than RP. If you learn received pronunciation and work from there, maybe that would be a good idea? People will understand you pretty much everywhere you go and I think it sounds nice, as do many people I think. I've never heard anyone hating on it, we just joke about it like every other accent we know of.

Being Swedish we learned only "standard English" at school and other dialects/accents only through the movies and TV which was reflected in the way I spoke English. But later I bacame friends with some exchange students and one of them had such an outrageous dialect that I could hardly understand him for a few weeks. After some time though I got used to it and could almost fully understand him. 😅 The downside of that was that my own way of speaking had begun to change a bit after spending so much time with him and a guy from Scotland. So for quite some time I had some kind of mashup of different dialects blended with the typical "Swenglish". It must've sounded atrocious. 🤣🤣 The 2nd Cockney level sounded like 98.5% of "The Streets" songs. 😄

As a German i understand almost nothing ;-) But i find regional dialects and languages very interesting.Although it sounds completely different the cockney dialect reminds me of the language spoken in Hamburg by the workers in the harbour in the end of the 19th century. Especially the workers that has to clean the Boiler of the steamboats spoke an language that was derived from low german and was also seen as a secret language within their stand. The language was called "ketelklopper" means boiler beater. There are no steamboats anymore and no people that has to work as a "Ketelklopper". So the language is extinct now and only a few audiorecordings remain.
