It is a very interesting topic. When i was growing up people used a lot of "Rhyming Slang" which was from our Celtic/English roots, we just adapted different wording to the English version, more to our vernacular and way of speaking and way of life. You never hear it now, not long ago i was with a good mate of mine and someone who we do not particularly like came into the room and tried to take over the conversation, he is a lot younger then myself and my mate. We spent about 2 minutes talking about him in derogatory terms{slagging him off} in rhyming slang, and not only did he have no idea what we were saying, he was laughing his head of with us, idiot.
The modern generation are just so woke that they are far removed from how we used to do things and spoke, using rhyming slang was part of how we lived. And we are definitely losing our spunk, people are just so soft and complain about the smallest issues now, that is the way of the modern world, they would not have survived under my sisters mantra, " Just Get On With It ".
I love language, and the way it's used
The youngsters here have their own cant, but it doesn't include much rhyming slang, or other words often hundreds of years old. Funnily enough, I recall being in a couple of similar situations to that!
Scotland (Glasgow and Edinburgh) seems to still produce new forms of rhyming slang, and of course as words are pronounced differently to further south, it is very distinct, and generally witty
Great haul Taylor, and a nice pic of your Lambsfoot too
Nice pics! I’ve been starring at that figure in your patina. I think I see a ram’s head with a set of big horns.
My lambsfoot interrupted a snake’s lunch who had it’s face stuffed with ...
salad ?
Look closely and you’ll see see parts of the now doomed main course .
Wow! Stunning pics Dan
Thank you, Jack! Lots of rain at the moment... Which isn't a bad thing.

One of Jack's SFOs in Ebony for me today.
Yeah, I guess it damps things down some Dylan
Looks like you have the makings off a fine evening there my friend
Received my first lambsfoot last week and today the weather was surprisingly nice compared to the last few days which where full of rain and cold weather. So I decided to go on a morning hike and took my new lambsfoot with me, beautifull knife bit man is she a nailbreaker!
Congratulations Steve, and welcome to the Guardians!
Hope you had a good hike, lovely pic
The pull will ease with some use, but if you're struggling a bit, check out the index for advice on breaking it in. At the very least, be sure to get some oil in the joint, and blow out the crud Wright's leave in there with some compressed air
Good morning Guardians and happy Saturday. Kind of overcast here in coastal NC so I took this rather ordinary indoor photo of my HHB

Looks good to me Bill
I carry a lambsfoot to fight off any bears in my way ....
How ’bout you ?
Cool pic Dan
Hope everyone is having a great day
After an 11 mile hike, and a couple of very large, and very tasty burgers, washed down with a couple of equally tasty pints, I was ready for a nap!
I'll post a few pics tomorrow

. The Harrison is a fine example of Sheffield knives of old and I think you'll find the two-blade Lambfoot a good worker. Enjoy.
