Thanks Bingo. I read your comment about rhyming slang in the Blu thread. That was a Sydney Morning Herald web address which probably explains it. I think that rhyming slang is so uncommon in Australia nowadays that if you don't use the rhyming word, nobody understands what you're talking about. I hear it used very rarely and when I do it always rhymes (e.g. skyrocket for pocket).
