Australian slang certainly has its roots in East End London market trader slang. Carried by emigres everywhere. It was originally invented to confuse the "old Bill" (police). Early English rapping do you think? New words are always getting added but not many stand the test of time.


Well I must do as you suggest. Instead of sitting here on my Jack Jones I had better get up off my Kyhber, get on my Dick Van Dyke and go and buy the Captain Hook.

Rhyming slang is a load of Jackson Pollacks really!
