If I'm not mistaken Padraig Pearse is rhyming slang for fierce.

If I'm not mistaken Padraig Pearse is rhyming slang for fierce. Wikipedia would agree with you on that one, also giving the example "pen (ink)" for "stink". Both are also cited incidentally as examples of the overuse of rhyming slang in the Ross books, which is something I'd agree with, despite being a big fan of the books; as opposed to the corporatespeak thread, where I can't avoid the offending phrases, I've rarely come across most of the entries above. |

Holly Valance = Trial balance
Doesn't rhyme perfectly but plenty of usage opportunities for the accountants among us.

Also for P & L: Michael Dell, Alexander Bell, William Tell. On a separate note, is it possible to smite yourself for coming up with alternative rhyming slangs for accountancy terms? |

No need, if I hadn't just exalted Rangers for not taking the excuse to escape from the draw bet (will be very interested to see the result of that one), or if I could afford to stay posting for another 3 hours, it'd be smites all round. |
