      For anyone who doesn’t know that’s Cockney rhyming slang. Cup of Rosy Lee rhymes with Cup of Tea. But they often omit the last word so it becomes a Cup of Rosy.

      Another one is Apples which is slang for stairs. Since the full rhyming slang is Apples and Pears.

        Also, a very common one.

        “Blew a raspberry.”

        Raspberry tart, fart.

        Most people don’t know that “let’s get down to brass tacks” is a rhyme for “let’s get down to the facts” as well.
