Nvr could make it thru this movie but every time I see a a clip I tell myself I have to give it another chance.
Lotta people I know swear by this movie.
Carry on…….
Cherry Chase = Face,
Bubble & Squeek = Greek, (bubble and squeak is made from yesterdays leftover mashed potatoes and spinach or greens, mixed together and fried, while it cooks it bubbles and lets out steam which squeaks, a bit like an old-time boiling kettle), often served in cafes specialising in all-day breakfasts and funnily enough often owned and run by, Bubbles! So you could say "I'm going down the Bubbles for some bubble."
But then a bubble could be "a bubble bath" = LAUGH or,
if somebody "bubbled you up" it means that they snitched on you,
and yet still, if you see a group of blokes pissed (drunk) outside the pub on a Saturday afternoon wearing Claret and Baby Blue coloured shirts singing "We're forever blowing bubbles", then they are West Ham Football (or soccer for you lot) supporters.
So you got to knows your bubbles, if not you could be left on the cobbles blowing bubbles yourself (knocked out, lying on the pavement dribbling saliva).
@Princenubian there is a lot more going on with the banter here than just a bit of rhyming slang. I have lived in a few English speaking countries and nobody, but nobody uses the English language like... the English! Before we take into account all the regional dialects and then the slang and colloquialisms that come with it, let us just look at London banter, (refer back to Bubbles)!
Which can also change, depending on where you are or who you are with, North, East South and West London!
So you really need to know your bubbles, bruv!
When I was living in Australia it was broadcast on TV one Sunday evening.
I invited some English mates round and we had a proper English Sunday. English beers, Sunday Roast Dinner beef with all the trimmings and then kicked back to watch the movie and get smashed (stoned). They bought an Aussie guy with them who the flat shared with and was cool. but evry line had to be explained to him, even if the line meant only one thing, poor guy was absolutely baffled with the banter. But that said not all the English boys who were from Cambridge which is 65 miles from London could decipher every nuance.
