Searching for some better slang

So, apparently, cockney rhyming slang has been reinvented for a new generation. But, to be honest, a lot of it isn't much Steve (Steve - Steve Brookstein - flop - cop, you see?). Take a few examples:

Paul Weller - pint of Stella Britney Spears - beers Bob Marley - charlie (cocaine) The Kooks - nukes (ballistic nuclear weaponry)

Ok, so we made the last one up, but it just goes to prove how rubbish they all are. Still. You can do better, can't you? Submit your inventions below (or by email to music.editor@guardianunlimited.co.uk) and we'll promise to use the best of them on Guardian Unlimited Music
