What is Cockney rhyming slang anyway?
From its roots in the marketplaces and back alleys of Victorian east London, Cockney rhyming slang emerged first as a thieves cant, a secret language used by the semi-criminal types. Via a long and chequered history, falling in and out of fashion, to its place embedded in British culture, we look at what CRS is, how it developed, and what it's future might hold.
