I'm always fascinated by other cultures and the UK is no different. I happened to stumble upon a site devoted to London Slang. The usuals are there - fag, knackered, shag, mate, git, etc. But there's a category of slang called Modern Rhyming Slang where some words are substituted with whole other words that rhyme. Example:
Mystic Meg(s) - Modern Rhyming Slang - for legs. e.g. "Wow, look at the Mystic Meg's on that !". After the fortune teller famous for starring on the UK National Lottery programme.
