Cockney Buddhism?

I thought it might be fun to imagine what Cockney Buddhism would be like, complete with it's own rhyming slang, eg "sit and wait" = "meditate", or "Carlos Santana" = "Nirvana".

Here is an introduction to cockney for our American friends:
The Three Signs Of Being;
Mad 'atter
I'll 'it ya and
Bit of a looker...
There's a cockney rhyming slang word for one's behind, and it's 'Aris'... but the connection is convoluted... bear with me - this is genuine, I promise;
Aristotle - bottle.
Bottle 'n' glass - Ass.
So we say, "Oi, shift yer aris!" or "your dad 'll give yer bottle a good kickin'!"
Which is why I think
Karma should be 'Ol' Macdonald'.
because he's a 'Farmer'.....
Cor, well done, got yesself a good bit of Ol' McDonald there, me old cobber!"
"Oooh dear, that weren't a good idea mate, I fink that's a load of bad Ol' McDonald, right there...!"
For more fun rhymings and to give our (Transatlantic-and-elsewhere) buddies an idea of what on earth we're talking about, see here.
You'll get no Tom Hanks from me @SpinyNorman, get out of 'ere me 'ol germolene fruit's, or you'll find your mind'll be filled to brimmin' with verbal tia maria'
Ayuh,and I thought we had some strange ways of speaking in Maine. Too funny.
"Ommmmmmmm....Oiy!"
I wonder if Cockney Buddhists would eat jellied eels?
That all depends if they just like Uncle Reg....
I should coco...
Except one has to wait until one's trouble and strife has left the bride and groom because even the sight of wonky wheels makes her feel a bit uncle dick..
Yeh, the coast's clear, she's gone up the apples...
Bona...I'm Hank Marvin.
Cockney ditty to be sung to the tune of 'Thats Amore '..
' When your'e out on the razz

I have heard of Theravada Buddhism, Mahayana Buddhism and the likes but not cockney Buddhism. Is there a need for it?
Well, @footiam, if you don't need it, feel free to wander through other threads, and ignore this one.
The emphasis there was on the word 'fun'.
You may not be familiar with the term....? :rolleyes: .
