Scottish Rhyming Slang


Recommended Posts

Not very “pc” or remotely acceptable these days, but I had a boss back in the 80s, who would ask at lunchtime if we we’re getting some “darkie’s lips” from the chippie! 
 

…and there was a fella I knew who was prone to saying “Fergal Sharkeys”, when referring to a certain ethnicity 😳

Tom Kite - shite

Single Fish - pish

Nobby Stiles - piles

Dino Zoff - used when someone is leaving "I'm Dino lads"

The very non PC list, thankfully not heard much these days - 

Linford - Taxi

Darkies Bum - Rum

Black Man - Ice Cream Nougat Wafers, usually from the van

I’ve a family member who uses Hamilton Accies for a similar reason. You can choose your friends, eh?
