Meaning of “Rabbit and Pork” Origin of Phrase with examples.

Rabbit and Pork

Meaning

Talk.

Origin

‘Rabbit and pork’, which is often shortened just to ‘rabbit’, is a nice example of Cockney rhyming slang. The first citation in print that I can find is in the British writer Gerald Kersh’s wartime novel They die with their boots clean, 1941:

“He uses slang… Talk is Rabbit, or Rabbit-an’-Pork.”
