Don't explain what my mate said to me though does it?.

"I done a spell in in stir cos the chocolate said they got me bang to rights what with the tom being in me sky when the filth felt my collar. A 3 stretch for a load of hookie tom worth no more than a monkey, tops."

I seem to remember there being an appendix in "Full Moon" (a bio of Keith Moon written by his former body guard / babysitter) with a similar, but brief, glossary like that. They pointed out how most of the terms/phrases rhymed with the actual words.

And Banksey's mate's quote triggered the George Carlin center in my brain... (Big bats down to one five five. Over cross up the thing no. Nose, baseball hieroglyphic hopscotch pouch...)
