I believe the ref to Ocean's 13 was when Danny Ocean offers to give the bank a "Billy Martin". It's a gambling term that means giving someone a second chance, i.e. Billy Martin was a baseball manager who messed up but was given a second chance to do better, hence the reference to his name.
Interesting video, thanks! "China" is slang used in South Africa, always wondered where that came from! "Barney" is slang for fight in SA, however I had heard that came from a character called Barney Barnato who was an east end boxer/fighter who became very wealthy on the diamond mines in late 1800's. Like Barney Rubble though, seems to make sense in context of China plate...
A friend of mine used to refer to wank as a 'J Arthur' - Rank. Also he would say as a joke to female friends, "I suppose a Donald is out of the question", referring to the rhyming slang - Donald Duck. xx
Back in the day, I used "Hank Crank" for "Wank". "Jack Dash" for "Slash" (piddle) And if you went for a "Tom Tit" you produced a whopping great "Richard"... "the 3rd" meaning "Turd".
An example of how you'd use 'rabbit' in a sentence might be "You've got more rabbit than bleedin' Sainsbury's!"- (You talk too bloody much!) A variation of that, what I've heard over the years, has been "You've got more bunny than a bleedin' butcher's!"
As a young man we used J Arthur to mean wank after the film producers J Arthur Rank. There are so many Peckham = Tie, Peckham Rye an are of South London.
Practice English with Paul I do speak Russian, but I am Bulgarian :). I love British accents, especially the northern ones. Thanks a lot for your videos! My English is getting worse, because of my Dutch accent, so your videos are great help for me. Have a good day! greetings from holland.
Very good, well one, but I have a problem with your use of "trouble and strife." If, as you quoted, one were to say, "I had some trouble and strife last weekend," then one would have said, "I had some wife last weekend," not "I had some trouble with the wife." To say this, one would have to say "I had some Barney with the Trouble last week end" = "I had some trouble with the wife last weekend."
Always liked Steptoe & Son when the old man would refer to someone as a “Berk.” Never knew what it meant until I read somewhere it was the “Polite” way to call someone a C*** as in Berkshire Hunt😂
Hello Paul, i love your video and channel. My example; Janes keeps rabbitting and rabitting and urging John to bring home some bees!
Paul please do more of these these videos they're awesome
Please continue to make more videos about the Cockney accent.
Hello. How often will you make video lessons?
I duly appreciate your videos, you have helped me to train my students with a new perspective.. Thank you very much Paul.

I think you might be right. I heard "have a barney" very commonly before the Flintstones was broadcast in the UK.

Forget Trouble and Strife it's more like 'er indoors lol. Ohh Memories.

First, I really enjoy your vids. Second, I've always thought that Britons who speak with Cockney accent say "shite" instead of "shit"...
Sebastián Oscar Campanello thanks, mate) i think 'shite' spread across the whole of Britain))
Amazing really =)
Mince pies = eyes
Barnet fair = hair
Adam and eve = Believe
Apples and pears = stairs
Hank Marvin = starving
Thanks very much all the best
I've heard 'raspberry ripple', which is apparently, quite rude to a certain group of people- (but I shall say no more on that subject!)
Yep! Try too bloody bread and lard with the old rhyming slang and we might think you're taking the bloody gypsy's!
i was just learning cockney and how can i improve in it. how it take time to improve
well, this was fun. Thank you.
can these examples be used in any sentence or they are used in specific sentences?
thank u so much its really helpful

So, how is things like "dog and bone" a rude example when it just means phone? Am I missing something?
D & B is harmless but to "Give a Dog a Bone" does have a ruder connotation.
I've heard of the expression, to bring home the bacon, but not the bread; A monkey is always strange one.
Wow 😳
Some of my bets mates are Sweaties. Sweaty socks = Jocks = Scots.
¡¡¡ Flows is Handsome !!!!
Technically of course it's "screw your loaf."
