As a fellow Liverpool supporter, I just had to post here and gloat. So here I go. Chewlsey (spelt phonetically as one of their fans would say it) went down like an Essex girl on a weeknight. They lost the game so bad that John Terry wound up sleeping with his own wife afterwards.
Cockney Rhyming Slang: When people confuse rhyming for wit. It's funny because I've lived in London and everybody seems to have their own variation on it, some people say 'cattletruck' some people say 'daffy duck'. Nobody seems able to agree on any one word and everybody seems to assume that the rest of the world understands their specific version of the 'language' (I say language here in the same tone of voice I use when I blow my nose).
It's funny because rhyming slang started as a way for criminals to plot their dastardly deeds under the noses of the police. I doubt that even the other criminals understood what their mates were saying. No wonder Sherlock Holmes had such an easy time cracking cases. By today's standard, the greatest detective of all time is probably as smart as a British missing persons detective during the summer.
