    I instigated a transatlantic Cockney rhyming slang version. In Cockney the rhyme is usually the word that’s missing, so you just have to know what it means.

    For example:

    • “Apples” -> apples and pears = stairs
    • “Sky” -> sky rocket = pocket
    • “North” -> north and south = mouth

    Resulting in:

    • USA: “Taking a dump”
    • Dump -> Donald Trump (rhyme)
    • Britain: “Going for a shit”
    • Our family: “Going for a Donald”

    I’m also writing this while going for a Donald.
