Puffer Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 please visit www.cockneyrhymingslang.co.uk for a translation of my posts. You too will be able to converse and amaze others whilst apperaring to; 1/ be a londoner (important) 2/ appearing to talk a load of castor * *if you're lost on this one, the answer is of course, cockney rhyming slang. I can only assume, me old china, that 'castor' here is a reference to 'Castor and Pollux' (aka Gemini, the heavenly twins), which provides an apposite if disgraceful rhyme. The more common alternative ('castor oil' = royal) makes little sense here. What say you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
