What is a Cockney?
Traditionally, a true Cockney is anybody born within the sound of Bow bells (the bells of the church of St.Mary-le Bow in the East End of London). In fact, the term is commonly used to denote people, who come from a wider area of the innermost eastern suburbs of London and also adjoining area south of the Thames.
"Cockney" is also used to describe a strong London accent and, like any such local accent, is associated with working-class origins.
A feature of Cockney speech is rhyming slang, in which, for example, "wife" is referred to as "trouble and strife (суперечка)", and "stairs" as "apples and pears" (usually shorted to "apples"). Some rhyming slang has passed into general informal British usage; some examples are "use your loaf", which means "think" (from "loaf of bread" - "head") and "have a butcher's", which means "have a look" (from butcher's hook - "look".)
