Language is a living thing, always evolving.

Quite wonderful to hear the Cockney accents. My grandmother was from the East End of London, and she used a lot of rhyming slang. My Dad, who was born here in Canada, used some of these expressions. I’d ask, “what’s your ‘titfer’?” Tit for tat, your hat. I loved that. Also love “telling porkies” for pork pies, or lies. I watch a lot of British TV so pick up some of these things.
