Brass

As a cockney (and on behalf of my people) you have the wrong slang for "brass" - "brass" is short for "brass rubber" = "scrubber". Ass would be bottle, 'arris or April. "Bottle" - "bottle and glass" = "Ass"; "'arris" - "Aristotle" = "bottle" (see above); and "April" - "April in Paris" = "'arris" (see above twice). This is slang upon slang opon slang! We're crafty us cock-er-neys!
