Cockney rhyming slang.

People.from.London, born within a certain area are cockneys. Rhyming slang has spread to most of England but not often used by most.

Popular ones I've heard out of London.
China - China Plate - Mate which is a friend.

Apples and pears - Stairs.

Have a butchers - butchers hook - have a butchers hook - have a look.

So on and so on.

Weird. Theres a lot of it in common parlance.

Getting down to brass tacks - facts.
Having a Barney - Barney Rubble - trouble
I don't Adam and Eve it - I don't believe it
I'm cream crackered - I'm knackered.
I'm Hank Marvin - I'm Starvin

That's not rhyming slang, that's a slur.
Means Irish traveller / gypsy.

Edit: I don't know if there's an American version.
In the UK, Irish people come over and live in mobile homes, travel about the place doing manual jobs for cash. They have a bad reputation because some of them are thieves and some leave places they park up in a right mess. The good ones are called travellers, the bad ones and thieves are the Pikeys.
