The septics won't get that.
But they will, no doubt, bowl over and give it all that, all geezer and rude.
The someone else will say sumfink back and then someone gets a Glasgow kiss and there we are watching some guy piss claret all down his boat race.
It'll ruin his whistle.

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all

Essentially, when it comes to most rhyming slang, the rhym is in the following word which is rarely uttered.

The Britishism that stands out to me is "a bit of work" or something when said
in reference to a difficult person. I read it recently in the Mark Haddon book _A Spot of Bother_,
and I realized I hadn't heard it before.

Is normally 'a nasty bit of work'...
And how can it be a 'Britishism'?

Would the phrase be " a nasty piece of work" perhaps ?
Meaning a ne'er do weller or a rum cove from the wong side of the tracks.
It's basically the opposite of someone who is "straight as the day is long" or "sound as a pound".

Sounds like me the latter part of that.
I'm as honest as the day is long. The longer the daylight, the less I do wrong.
A nice Rich Tea Biccie (none of this American Cookie nonsense. Bloody uppity colonials) for the first person to tell me where I pinched that from. And skank to it.
