"Cockney Rhyming Slang" is a quick, easy-to-use guide to some of the most frequently used, up-to-date as well as old-fashioned phrases, 'apples and pears' - stairs; 'Barnet Fair' - hair; 'sausage and mash' - crash; 'bubble bath' - laugh; 'Britney Spears' - beers; 'has beens' - greens; and, 'dig a grave' - shave.
