Define rabbit? Ah yes, you are but a pipsqueak as yet in life's great circle, I keep forgetting...christopherpostill said:So..err.. Define rabbit?
I work there
Rabbit = cockerney rhyming slang for 'talks a lot'. What the hell 'rabbit' rhymes with I have yet to determine, one of life's great mysteries, that one
However, in sarf east london common parlance, one who rabbits frequently can be judged as one who don't know when to button it and takes great pleasure from sending great cold drafts of words down defenseless people's lugholes (Wordsworth).
For further reference, seek out that popular Chas and Dave tune 'Rabbit' a cheery and sparky little ditty, guaranteed to bring a smile in these cold winter climes
