Hamburger Hill = the pill So like, instead of saying “the pill” you would say “Hamburger Hill?” As in, like, “she’s on Hamburger Hill?” As a side comment, what the hell does “Hamburger Hill” have to do with birth control pills? 😃 It just rhymes? Is that it? IronFist ---

I didn’t know that hamburger hill meant “the pill”, so i can’t comment but if it means “the pill” then it’s correct. but if it means “pill” then it would have to be something like “she’s on the hamburger hill” what does it have to do with anything iron? ---

> Originally posted by Stranger > [B]whistle and flute= a suit correct, no? [/B] Almost correct. Whistle & flute = suit. Not a suit. Sounds pernicketty, but it’s a relevant point. The trouble with rhyming slang is that most people that do use it don’t use the whole thing, but just single words that represent the rhyme. Kinda like slang within slang. This requires an example, doesn’t it. i.e. “Get up them apples and put on your whistle before I slap you right across the boat, you lazy Berkshire!” In the above example: Apples = apples & pears = stairs whistle = whistle & flute = suit boat = boat race = face Berkshire = Berkshire hunt = … I’m sure you get the rest of that one. (So think carefully whenever you call someone a berk!) It’s something that you probably don’t want to get too worried about. It’s a dying dialect. Which is a shame really, but what can you do, eh? Pukka. ---
