I beleive I heard that Ryhming slang originated as a language that vagabonds would use amongst themselves so that people wouldnt know what they were talking about. Can anyone confirm this?

Not much we are thinking of local British terms in each regional dialect and slang unless Im mistaken.
Also my amazing dissertation-esque post further up on patriotism n the like is very good ( he says himself lol)

True Englishman through and through. I live in staffordshire in the Midlands.We had some of the best potters around here, in Stoke, in the six towns.
Till they shipped off to the far East, betraying their heritage to make a couple of quid more.
* mutters*

Meh, there's too much of this "I'm British through and through" talk floating around these days. Too many people use it as a show of superiority, and it's not right. There was a programme on a couple of months ago, with a group of these people, who went round with a superior attitude and saying they could date their British blood back centuries....turned out they were all completely and utterely wrong. 
I'm British and no-one would say other wise even though I have Irish, German, Jewish etc ancestry. I was born in Britain, I have a British passport, my parents were born in Britain and they have a British passport, I love my tea, so I'm British and that's good enough for me.

I don't think it matters much outside the UK. I mean I wouldn't get particularly impressed by people who claimed British heritage and ancestry... neither more nor less than other people. Americans enjoy family trees and history and tracing their bloodline way back in time because they live in such a history-lacking country, but I don't think it matters so much to the rest of us Europeans since most of them can trace their family tree back a couple of generations at least.
Hmm... but I'm not even sure that's what you are talking about... you also mentioned superiority and I haven't really met that attitude outside of the UK. Perhaps the people who go abroad are more open-minded than the people who stay at home _________________ >>Be the change you wish to see in the world<<
