I must tell you this before I forget it. My mum was asking me this morning about what uni student rhyming slang for various degrees is. In particular a third. First = a Geoff (Geoff Hirst). 2:1 = a Jeffrey (Jeffrey Doujon). 2:2 = a Desmond (Desmond Tutu). Third = a Douglas (Douglas Hird). Anyway, she and my dad couldn't remember what a third was. Dad suggested a Richard (Richard the third). Here is how the conversation went.

Me: No, can't have been a Richard. That's Cockney rhyming slang for poo.

Mum: Eh?

Me: Richard the third....turd

Mum: How did you find that out?!

Me: Can't remember but it's rhyming slang. Richard the third....turd

Mum: I'm glad I know that now. I could've put my foot in it!
