2. At the end of a statement: I heard John was goin out with Mary eh? It sounds like a question, but it's not.

How’s it goin eh?
Very popular greeting, means: what's happening, what's up?

I say whitey a lot. It basically means a person in general. So when I say whitey, its just like saying dude, but in a not-so-annoying way.

Kick ass, whitey!

bloke = guy
bird = chick
lass = chick
potmash = dried potato crap

and now, for a bit of cockney rhyming slang methinks:

apples and pears = stairs "cor blimey guvnor, do i 'ave to climb those apples?"
rosie lee = tea "anyone fancy a cup o rosie?
chalk farm = arm (chalk farm is a place in north london near camden town)
bangers and mash = cash "i'm off to the ham to get some bangers" (ham shank = bank)
adam and eve = believe "ya wouldn't adam an' eve it!"
queen mum = bum (as in fanny/ass/backside)
orchestra stalls = balls "blimey me orchestras are itchy!"

and that concludes our english lesson for now... i want you all speaking fluent cockney by the time i've finished

Hehe, I speak my own language, like Nell. I've got a whole page about it on me website *shameless plug*. But here're a few choice expressions I've gotten fond of lately:

krunk - All purpose expletive ("Krunk that." "Ahhh, krunk!" "It's all krunked up.")
bollocks - Bullshit
Bloody Oath! - Fuckin A!
fudge - fuck
fudgesicles - more emphatic form of the above
peel one off - masturbate
squeeze one off - see above
icky-poo - disgusting
riding the ganja train - to be stoned
rockin the ganj - see above
Maccas - McDonald's
crescent fresh - a Good Thing
honey - a chick, especially a good looking one

And myriad other rap slang terms, I slip in and out of gangsta dialect all the time.

...um, shit. I just realized this thread was for non-Americans. Pay me no mind, I'm a dumbass.

Cockney Rhyming Slang is an ever-evolving language (much to the annoyance to my dad who like all Londoners of his age thinks he invented the goddamn thing)

Where most people go wrong is they say both words, the whole point is you are usually one removed from the rhyme, this is so those who do not share your background haven't got a fucking clue what your talking about.

So 'China' is mate (friend,spar,Niggero,Homey) the rhyme is plate (China Plate - Mate). Nothing makes you sound more of a Charlie than saying both the word and the rhyme. (That having been said there are a few exceptions like one word rhymes)

The Potmash Queen has schooled you on some classics

Here are some more, including some newer ones that would send my dad spinning in his plastic urn.

Pigs / Ear - Beer
Russel / Harty - Party
Barry / White - Shite
Ayrton / Senna - Tennor
Oily / Rag - Fag
Bin / Lid - Quid (One English Pound)or Kid or even Yid
Mick / Mills - Pills (Famous English Football Player)
Bull / and Cow - Row (Argument or fight)
Trouble / and strife - Wife
Sherman / Tank - Yank or wank depending on who you believe.
Rub-a-dub - Pub
Current Bun - The Sun (the newspaper with the tits in)
Grumble / and Grunt - Cunt ("i like going to that rub-a-dub its full of grumble")

I'm sure I’ll remember some more later.

Theres also Northern Slang but someone else can fill you in on that.
