Rhyming slang
technique of forming slang terms by using terms that rhyme with another, as in “elephant's trunk”, rhyming slang for “drunk”. Usually the rhyming slang term is two or more words which allows the rhyme word to be dropped and thus make the connection even more obscure, as in Noah, rhyming slang for “shark”, a shortening of “Noah's ark”. Rhyming slang first appeared in London in the 1840s where it was popular amongst street merchants and peddlars

Slang
Slang is the use of highly informal words and expressions that are not considered standard in the speaker's dialect or language. Slang is often highly regional, specific to a particular territory.
Slang terms are frequently particular to a certain subculture, such as musicians, and members of minority groups. Nevertheless, usage of slang expressions can spread outside their original arenas to become commonly understood, such as "cool" and "jive". While some words eventually lose their status as slang, others continue to be considered as such by most speakers. In spite of this, the process tends to lead the original users to replace the words with other, less-recognized terms to maintain group identity.
