I used to work with a bit of a "geezer". He would use what I termed 2nd order rhyming slang.

"He got it right in the Aris!"

Aris => Aristotle => Bottle => Bottle & glass => Ass

A similar anecdote, except this 'geezer' was a Mockney from Essex (not so dissimilar to Jamie Oliver).

"Lets go for an oily"

Oily ─> Oily Rag ─> Fag ─> Cigarette

A lot of cockneys moved from the east end to essex during the 70-90s. My family was one of them.
