Who's watching the Kitchens v the sweaties?

[ToraToraTora]

Japan try 14mins, come on Japan!

[granny grump]

Kitchens & sweaties ?? Where do those nicknames come from please Tora?

[Jackdaw33]

What word comes after kitchen to give the rhyme?

[Jackdaw33]

Sweaty socks - Jocks

Perhaps kitchen tap - Jap

[EcclesCake]

Yes, as can lightning.

[-Talbot-]

Kitchen sinks = Japanese


eh?

[Jackdaw33]

That's what I thought, that would be Chinese. The best I could come up with was Tap.

You could also call them Filters (Filter tip - Nip). There must be hundreds of ways of creating rhyming slang for various nationalities.

Thank you

That is apparently 'Mockney'

[Jackdaw33]

Just off the top of my head Germans could be currants, French could be cats and Polish could be sausages.

[Svejk]

Angelas. (rippon)

[Svejk]

How do you get 'cheese eating surrender monkeys' from cats?

[melv16]

Flat caps?

[Jackdaw33]

Cats and dogs - Frogs.

[Svejk]

Right, of course. I'll stick to Welsh, it's easier.

It seems to me that TTT takes some perverse pleasure from using obscure terms for other nations and sits back with a smug grin on his face whilst bemusement and bafflement posts are added to the thread.

Childish and tedious behaviour to my mind as it detracts from the purpose of the thread, unless the purpose is to be childish and tedious.......

[Mamyalynne]

Yes.
