I was curious if the town was anywhere near the disgusting Waterbury, and sure enough: The town spans both sides of the Naugatuck River just south of Waterbury

My friends and I went to Waterbury last year, grabbed some BBQ, etc. and we came across an intersection with like 100 crosses in it. My friend was like "omg what happened here?" and I look up and see a methadone clinic, so I was like "I think fentanyl happened." Soon after, we see men throwing packs of cigarettes through the windows at each other (probably not cigarettes in those packs); they broke the windows in their desperation to do so. We left the town quickly.

A few months later, I saw a news story where they let loose a cannibal into Waterbury; his restriction being he can't talk to people involved in criminal activity, as if that was his huge issue: https://www.the-express.com/news/us-news/113505/brain-eating-cannibal-released-10-years-bridgeport

Place is a scene out of Silent Hill; Hinckley would fit in.

I don't believe they had parts on Don't Stop Believin'. Cory Monteith is the lead male singer.

Would you like to challenge me to go through the whole deep purple discography? 

I recently downloaded their album "whoosh" and loved every bit of it

I'm working through John Finnemore's The Researcher's First Murder, because I cannot get enough death. I welcome help from those familiar with Cockney Rhyming Slang, terms I can't find online translation for are perplexing me.

[ 'einer' rhymes removed, think I got this]

morris

"make yourself scarce"

irving

water [TM - thinking this could be 'daughter', 'fisherman's daughter' translates to water, but no verification the converse is true]

Difficult to say without context.  Can you give the complete sentences in which they appear?

[Torva Messor 285]

not all of them, as some single words begin cards, and I'd need the preceding card for context, and if I could match the cards I'd have the context and a good chance of solving them. The cards unhelpfully do not begin and end with complete sentences.

Here are two sentences I can give:

"my gender was perhaps anomalous, but is often misidentified; and surely everything else fitted, from the colour of my skin to the sides of my make yourself scarce"
"one evening [the victim and his missus] had both been [at home] some time when, finally... their old water, their old morris...[the rhymes with finer series of four] got out."

Hadn't heard of this - sounds fascinating.  These aren't actually Cockney rhyming slang, but a similar formula.

I think you've got more of the same rhyme here.  Water diviner.  Morris Minor (a famous car model).

In the card text the word game is 'aris', as in 'R S' because it takes two goes to get to the bottom of it.  Irving probably follows 'make yourself scarce'. Although my nation counts English as an official language, we pronounce some words differently, even regional differences, and I don't know if 'scarce' rhymes with 'arse' in the GMT area.

 

Geez, I just saw what I did there: 'R S', two, bottom' 'arse'...

I see what you did there

 

I'm familiar with 'aris'.  That is from Cockney slang.

Bottle and glass - arse.

Aristotle - bottle, hence aris = arse, so almost full circle!

 

As for scarce, I'd say the closest rhymes would be words like cares, fairs, swears etc.

Normally means " get the fuck out of here" but not sure what it means this time. Belfast has rhyming slang too, but never heard this one here either.
