Cockney Rhyming Slang is about the smartest thing ever developed. For those unfamiliar, here's how it works: you have a word (balls), then you find a phrase that rhymes with that word (cobblers' awls), then you drop off the part that rhymes and you get your slang (cobblers). It's excellent, and I plan to bring some of the obscure ones into everyday use.
Intersesting Cockney Rhyming Slang fact: the use of the word "bread" for money originates in the slang because of the phrase "bread and honey." Bet you didn't know that, smart guy.
