Fred came from Cheapside in London – an official Cockney, born within earshot of the bells of St. Mary-le-Bow – and he taught her Cockney rhyming slang. She loved its lighthearted logic: the last word in a common phrase rhymed with the word it was to replace. So tit for tat
was hat
, and trouble and strife
was wife
. But the best part was that you usually dropped the rhyming words and used only the first words, so your wife's hat
became your trouble's titfer
