Talk:porker

The abbreviation of the Cockney rhyming slang is questionable. Pork pie = lie, correct. This is typically abbreviated to porky, not porker, e.g. 'He was telling porkies' means 'He was telling lies'. You would not find the following usage: 'He was telling porkers' to mean the same thing. Fishpie 23:51, 24 December 2011 (UTC)


 * You may be right. One Google Books hit each for "tell porkers" and "telling porkers"; they could be errors. Equinox ◑ 00:01, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
