“Scottish,” for instance, would be pronounced “Sco’ish. " “Blackboard” becomes “bla’board. ”
For example, say “I’m goin’ to walk the dog with me mum,” or “I ain’t lookin’ forward to the meetin’ on Monday. "
One common example of rhyming slang is saying “apples and pears” in place of “stairs. ” The last word in this phrase, “pears,” rhymes with the actual meaning—“stairs. " You could say, “Blimey, I have to climb four sets of apples and pears just to get to me flat!” Another example is using “Barney Rubble” to stand in for “trouble. ” You could say, “Mate, you’re sure gonna be in Barney Rubble for that one!”
Another example is, “Let’s head to the nuclear tonight, boys!” In this instance, “nuclear” refers to “nuclear sub(marine),” which stands in for “pub. ”
