To be fail, Cockney rhyming slang can be tough for the uninitiated, as the rhyming portion is the part that is dropped, leaving you with a clue that is TWO steps removed.

"I thought I'd come take a butcher's in" butcher's hook rhymes with look.

Or for another example, "Take the 'apples up to my apartment dearie." First off, any word starting with a vowel sound is said as if there was a dropped "h" in the front, just to make it harder to find the words with an ACTUAL dropped "H." Secondly "apples and pears" rhymes with stairs.

The end result is that unless you know the slang beforehand, or they're saying it in a way that gives clear context (which is as likely as Brittan NOT reminiscing of its glory days as a world-spanning empire), the listener is left feeling like a right proper lump. (And I'll explain the Cockney rhyming slang in that sentence if anyone asks.)

I'll second this explanation, and add that anyone interested should check out The Septic's Companion, a guide to British slang for Americans.

* Septic = American. Cockney Rhyming Slang: Septic Tank -> Yank.
