Along with a Patty (Hearst=First) and a Douglas (Hurd=Third). We couldn't think of anything to rhyme with 2:1 though...

Cockney rhyming slang on a AV forum is a first? so in my best mockney accent: cor blimey, my old china, never heeard this before and what's this exhaustion and dread all about?

Hun = Two-One?

All this rhyming slang is too much for a glasgow lad like me. I'm off for a sticky and an oily to mull things over.

Well, I have 2 degrees....a Patty BSc (Hons) and, err....what's the slang for distinction?

As with most things in life, it's not what you've got, it's what you do with it.

I know people with a Douglas who are walking away with £40k plus pensions, and those with Pattie's who are teachers with b*****  all in comparison.

That said, they are all new phrases to me..but heh ,I'm in the Colonel class.
