Err, I can't quite believe I'm responding to this, but I love
rhyming slang, so here goes:
Jimmy Riddle = tiddle
One of my favourite phrases, is "use your loaf". Loaf is short for
loaf of bread = head.
I come from East London and was aware of a lot of rhyming slang as a
child, but I've still never actually heard anyone talking
about "Apples and Pears", unless they're *trying* to talk in rhyming
slang.
