In this short chat we talk about;
What is a cockney?
The cockney accent (a particular London accent)

Your father is correct I believe, Ben. This a working class slang; a defense mechanism against those in power.
Ben, you're the spitting image of your dad :D
Thanks a lot to the both of you for sharing such an interesting piece of the English culture, even though I guess it'd be too difficult, for non native speakers, to get and use the Cockney rhyming slang...
Awesome! So interesting to get to know this! Your dad is adorable!
