Rhyming Slang

/ˈraɪmɪŋ slæŋ/noun
ELI5 mode

Rhyming Slang is a playful linguistic code where a common word is substituted with a phrase that rhymes with it, often to add secrecy or humor in conversation. This style, rooted in British working-class culture, has evolved to influence modern media and global English, turning everyday talk into a witty game that keeps listeners on their toes.
