Ah come on, everyone knows cockney rhyming slang is teh best!!! 
apples & pears = stairs
dog 'n' bone = phone
adam & eve = believe
nuclear sub (or "battle cruiser") = pub
jack jones = own
chalk farm = arm
aristotle = bottle
jam roll = arsehole
niagara falls = balls
pigs ear = beer
swiss bankers = wankers
Forsythe Saga = lager
ping pong = strong
mickey duff = puff = marijuana
Posh ‘n Becks = sex
For an example of their usage:
Confusing anyone...? ;D Just try speaking to a londoner with a really strong cockney accent who insists on using lots of rhyming slang... I use the odd occasional phrase actually, a lot of people round here do without even realising it - it's one of those things that's just kinda filtered into everyday speech in England at least.

Oh I really dont adam and eve the day I've had! The dog 'n' bone started ringing so I had ta run down the apples and pears to answer it... it was only that jam roll paul wantin' me ta go down the battle cruiser for a pigs ear! I went down there and it were full of Swiss Bankers!! One of em spilt his pint of forsythe down me, so I gave him a kick in the niagara! After that I just sat down and ordered meself an aristotle of the most ping-pong tiddly in the nuclear sub and rolled meself a nice mickey duff, before going home and havin' a bit of posh with the missus!
