Example

Here's the Lord's Prayer in Cockney (warning: Cringe worthy):

“”Hello, Dad, up there in good ol’ Heaven,
Your name is well great and holy, and we respect you, Guv.

We hope we can all ‘ave a butcher’s at Heaven and be there as soon as possible:

and we want to make you happy, Guv, and do what you want ‘ere on earth, just like what you do in Heaven.

Guv, please give us some Uncle Fred, and enough grub and stuff to keep us going today,
and we hope you’ll forgive us when we cock things up,

just like we’re supposed to forgive them who annoy us and do dodgy stuff to us.

There’s a lot of dodgy people around, Guv;
please don’t let us get tempted to do bad things.

Help keep us away from all the nasty, evil stuff,

and keep that dodgy Satan away from us,
‘cos you’re much stronger than ‘im.

You're the Boss, God, and will be for ever, innit?

Cheers, Amen.

Thanks,OP. FF hilarious.
Religion van be cewl.
What does"guv" mean?

I would have purchased that book as well

Love it! lol

I have no idea

Lol

Cheers, Amen



Lol

Give us some Uncle Fred

Lol

What's Uncle Fred?

Uncle Intel Fandango Rangers?

It's short for Guv'nor (however it's spelled) = Governor. The boss, I assume. Like calling someone Chief, etc.

Uncle Fred is Cockney rhyming slang, I assume for bread (because of its placing in the Lord's Prayer).

Ok chief
