Brave.

I didn't want to go there, having already travelled to a point beyond the one where I was winning.

Barnier.

From:

"Having a Barney" (originated as a rhyming phrase: "trouble" - the flintstone "Barney Rubble", later shortened)

and "Eh?" (expression of not hearing or listening)

"Having a Barney" (originated as a rhyming phrase: "trouble" - the flintstone "Barney Rubble", later shortened)

"Etymology unknown. Often incorrectly thought to be Cockney rhyming slang from "Barney Rubble" ( "trouble", from the character Barney Rubble on The Flintstones), it actually dates back to the 19th century and its origin is unknown."

Cockney best left to Cockneys.

The only person who has mentioned cockneys is you.

I have been in touch with my genealogist this afternoon discussing my cockney great grandfather but don't let that get in the way of a lecture.

If there is an etymology 1 and an etymology 2 (1960!) then I would need to see rational evidence that there isn't an etymology 3 - the article does not provide it.

Examples of American rhyming slang - "bread" [bread & honey = money], "put up your dukes" [Duke of York = fork) and"blow a raspberry" [raspberry tart = fart].

The point is that "Barney Rubble" (from the Flinstones) is not the origin of the slang term "barney", as you have tried to tell us. The Barney Rubble connection is a from of inauthentic Cockney rhyming slang (like 'bubble-bath' laugh or 'merchant banker'). To quote inauthentic Cockney rhyming slam as you have done (whether you have said the word 'Cockney' or not) is wrong, and does the rich language of Cockney rhyming slang a disservice. But don’t let that stop you.

The Flintstones (two ts) is an American programme as the later supposed 1960 etymology is linked to an American programme. The rhyming slang has its origins in America.

I can't believe that you are making so much of a light hearted post but at 14,277 posts you will obviously need to increase the number rapidly come what may for a reason.

I’m not making much of it, you are!

This is your first comment to me since dialogue on "Composers" some months ago

You might like to look at your last twenty posts in response to mine and consider how it has been constant critique from you and nothing else.

I suggest strongly that when you feel a need to lash out, you do it in other ways. It feels like harassment.
