For eg the 'road' is known as 'the frog and toad' and often now abbreviated to 'frog'. 'Stairs' are 'apples and pairs' 'wife' is 'trouble and strife' and so on. They say this language was developed initially by gangsters as a kind of code to dupe the police but now everyone knows it - even non-Londoners like me. :-D
Clearly, wickipedia is not in the business of clarifying anything - - but, sure does use a lot of words to avoid it! LOL <wave> I would have to say that the mickey thing would not be one of my chosen responses for anything, but sometimes, my chosen responses aren't worth using, either <g> part of my country charm, don't you know .....
