There's actually thousands of these expressions, and to hear someone in full flow who knows them all is both hilarious and confusing.

Which goes to show that when a Hawaii boy like me visits London England for a merry ole time, some Cockneys around me just might have a cockney conversation that translates to:
"Look at this fool. Obviously a tourist. Stinking American."
"Let's steal his wallet."
"Let's beat him and steal his wallet."
"Let's just beat him."
"Them and their stupid Football league, they don't even know what Football is."
"Let's beat him hard!"
"Let's teach him all the cockney swear words so somebody else will beat him."
"I'm Hungry, forget this guy and let's go eat."
And I'd be wearing a dumb smile on my face and waving to them the whole time, not understanding a word...

Somebody should start a 'regional dialect' thread, where the object is to try and figure out what is being said.... It will give people an exposure to how people talk all over the world...Plus we can all make fun of one another!
