    Funnily enough, that's exactly what I said to him. "You're having a delight at my mamma. Go sling your Navratilova."

      Sir Arthur, who he? A common one was 'having a J Arthur' (Rank) in my youth, but the elevation to a knighthood has defeated me.

          Also, having a 'Sherman' (tank) or a 'Barclays' (bank).

            I was wondering what cod liver oil had to do with it.

            If you're going to abruptly switch to female tennis ace rhyming slang, strictly speaking he was having a Steffi.

              No, ice cream, YOU'RE having a Steffi. I, on the other hand, am currently having a Venus - at your expense.

                  OoooOOOOH! Tres bold. How did I miss that?

                    That lamb jalfrezi last night has given me a real pain in the Billie-Jean.

                      "So 'e says to me, 'lend us your Virginia' - and I'm like 'do me a favour, I'd 'ave to go up into the Annabel for that!' Next Billie-Jean I know, 'e's dialled himself an Anka and buggered orff!" (Yeah, I know. Needs work.)

                      A 'Jodrell' as well, apparently.

                      I've also heard 'Tommy Tank' many times, but it's weak as p*ss. Sounds like it was made up by some young middle-class buck who doesn't quite get it.

                        I always understood karzi (as said) to have come from an African language word for latrine.
