Alexandra Marie: These arejust some terms popularly used by the Cockneys in England. So 'apples and pears' means stairs, so someone might say "We'll just take the apples and pears to the second floor."
Ok, I love that people don't get this and lets face it why should they. Cockney rhyming slang originated in London as a way of talking in code so that coppers ( police ) wouldn't know what you were talking about. Some of it is now part of the English language ( in the U.K ) as a whole eg. Telling a porkie = pork pie = lie. Other slang is more centred around just London and changes all the time. Some of it I think is great but alot of it is just an affectation ( why say Current Bun when you can say the word sun which is much shorter ? ) As for the T - good concept but could have been done better.
I took a butchers at this, and knew there'd be Barny Rubble. If I wasn't Hank Marvin for a Ruby Murray in my Darby, I'd wip off me syrup and let this sweaty know this design is the muts nuts.
I'm in the US and not as cultured as others in the linguistics of other countries, especially not France, but I love this. The scratchy, 'messy' look that others describe really clashes well with the green shirt, and I got the concept right away even though I'd never heard of Gockney before. Indeed, perfect for beginners. :) I love it.
This is cool, I'm just to lame and American to have understood it without all the explanation comments. Also, I'm starting to get annoyed with the SellWowGold.
I love that people are using the American card to cover for ignorance. Cockney slang is SUPER popular, it's in all kinds of shows and movies... how have you people never heard of this?

cockney is a highly underused and unappreciated form of communication.

I like the idea but the design is a bit on the messy side.

i am intrigued by this, but really just don't understand...

I love the idea! You can get a good list of slang on the Lock Stock DVD.

I would totally wear this, my friends are always making fun of me for using English words/phrases that they don't understand.
And cockney slang makes me happy. $5.
PBmeetsJ
yay for cockney slang! :)
but i don't like the shirt so much.
mj00
I looove cockney rhyming slang, but to me it's not a great fit for the shirt medium.
d3d
lol. awesome.
livodl
So, they replace a word that's rhymes with the word they actually mean? And the person that they're talking to will get it because it's in context?
For example:
Non-cockney: Let' take the train to the park.
Cockney: Let's take the horse's mane to the park.
If I understand this correctly, it sounds super fantastic.

i'm a low down dirty dog. grrrrrrr
loserbeech
I'd love to give you a Godiva for it, but you missed my favourite one out.
Tonteau
It would be "I'd love to give you a lady"
You're not supposed to say the word that rhymes.
(matthijs)
makes a great tee

'Tonteau on Aug 10 '07

They're American and they probably don't know what a 'fiver' is, either. Come on, give them a break.
ctiller
American... no clue....
weirdpoopoobaby
I'm liking it. But if it doesn't get up then I'm sure there's a design lurking about involving the gary glitter...

angelune
i needed this! i can never remember any cockney except Dog-and-bone and dame-judi-dench.
angelune
oh but also i'd like it in a diff't color. maybe brown?
Krakaboom
Is 'Gary Glitter' supposed to be 'shitter'? Because that's just gross - and yet strangely appropriate.
Alex9651899
i like it.
steven218
haha, yeah that's what gary glitter means :)
RaveDave
Some cockney rhyming slang is gloriously convoluted - my favourite is the slang for anti-american sentiment: Listerine
comes from anti-septic (septic tank being slang for Yank)

this doesn't make sence.
i like that!!!!!!!
canadianbeaver
How can you not understand after so many explanations? And WTF is all that advertising linkage up there???? Get a cannon and BOMB that guy!
deboraborialis
I love it! It'll look good on my thrupennys!

Since so many Americans don't get it, it may not get the score it deserves.
