QUOTE(Gnappster @ Mar 28 2006, 06:03 PM) Apparently not. I don't know if that's the answer or a better explanation of the question? Ok Kettle and hob=fob (fob watch). Does that make more sense?.

How was I supposed to guess fob when I didn't even get the "hob" part in the original question. Do kettle and hob naturally go together? I'm not being sarcastic, I don't know what a hob IS? 2. I don't know of or have ever heard of a fob, whether it be a fob watch or fob refrigerator or fob dog. 3. I suck at this. That is all.

The whole point of cockney slang was that 'outsiders' should not know what was being said...add in a language divide, and it's no wonder you are struggling!! btw, a hob is the bit of a cooker that you put pots and pans on to heat...and before the days of electrickery, you would heat a kettle on a hob... Here are some more common ones... Loaf of bread Brown bread Trouble & strife Donkey's ears Whistle & flute tit for tat

Lol.You dont suck at this,I admire your efforts. There are still lots of words that I dont know and others that I come accross that I havent heard of before and I only live 40 miles from London. Only the other day someone told me "get that down your gregory" and I hadnt heard it before. A hob is the hotplate on top of a stove,I didnt know that hob isnt used in america,See we both learnt something.

But it's like me asking if anyone can think of any words that rhyme with Chicago, and when no one can I say Oh I meant Chicago BULL. The answer is Pull. A rudimentary example but you get my drift. I at least need the whole phrase to have some chance at guessing it.

Use your loaf - loaf of bread - head Brown bread - dead Trouble & strife - wife

Bondi Approved I look like you wanna look, I fuck like you wanna fuck. I am smart, capable and, most importantly, I'm free in all the ways that you are not.
