What is 'sailor cake' rhyming slang for?
*correction* Whilst not cockney RHYMING slang, it is cockney slang- cockney slang for Anal Sex or 'buggery'This is slang and this is UK slang but not cockney rhyming slang as best I can determine. Sailor cake or more commonly referred to as navy cake is when two men engage in activities from behind. To be rhyming slang the word cake would have to rhyme with the referent. In this case, it does not. Example; apples and pears for stairs, trouble and strife for wife, china plate for mate. This is straight forward slang such as apron for flag, blagged for robbed or bloody for, well, what ever that is supposed to mean.
