...using music people and fings as rhyming slang for anything else in general

examples:

Kurt Cobain = Brain = "that kids's got a good kurt on 'im"

Roots Manuva = Hoover = "gotta give this floor a good ol' roots manuva"

Axl n' Slash = Cash = "alright mate, lend me some Axl?"

Aphex Twin = Shin = "'old up, got terrible pain in me aphex"

Holly Valance = pants = "lets go, this is utter Holly"

Kylie Minogue = Rogue = "you'd better watch 'im, he's a bit of a Kylie"

Donna Summer = Bummer = "sorry to hear that mate, bit of a Donna eh?"

Julian Casablancas = Wankers = "fuck that lot, all total Julians"

could catch on...but please do better!

There are existing ones - Gary Glitter, obviously, and Lou Reed. (Such a pity though that Mo Tucker isn't used as rhyming slang....) That said, I do hope the above additions make it into common parlance. And you really can't say Christina Aguilera than that.

I thought this was going to be a thread about the singular brand of cheery Cockney pub-rock pioneered by Chas and Dave.

― Marcello Carlin, Wednesday, 16 October 2002 14:37 (twenty-three years ago)

Chas and Dave = Rave

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 16 October 2002 14:38 (twenty-three years ago)

You can use my Joey and Dee-Dee, though.

(Yes, I am a Minnesotan butting in on a Cockney slang thread. I wholly understand the concept and have since William Regal used the term "nice Bristols" on a WWF TV program.)

well if anyone saw the Soprano's when Ralphie takes it from behind? My friends and I have begun using this one "The Ralphie Treatment". "Boy the St. Louis Cardinals really got the Ralphie Treatment during that one".

William Regal is from Blackpool! Cockney in much the way that Woody Allen is a Texan.
