Alice

Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English. I’m Alice…

Neil

And I’m Neil.

Alice

Could you lend me some dosh, Neil?

Neil

Sure. How much do you need?

Alice

A couple of smackers.

Neil

You’re sounding a bit strange today, Alice.

Alice

Yes, I know, Neil. Slang – or informal language used by a particular group – is the subject of today’s show, and I was just demonstrating a couple of slang words that mean ‘money’. Dosh is a general term for ‘money’ and a smacker is a British pound or US dollar.

Neil

OK, so Cockney Rhyming Slang is a type of slang. It’s a coded language invented in the 19th Century by Cockneys so they could speak in front of the police without being understood. And still on the subject of money, I have a question for you, Alice.

Alice

OK.

Neil

What’s Cockney Rhyming Slang for ‘money’?

Is it…

a) bread?

b) honey?

Or c) dough?
