*sigh*
you don't need both to rhyme in cockney rhyming slang... you know, i'm sure hardly anyone knows how to do it properly :P

You have something and something else, equalling a product.
The second something has to rhyme with the product, but the first something is just something to complement the second one, but it can also be used as a standalone, eg.

Butcher's Hook = Look

Hook rhymes with Look
Butcher's doesn't
However, you can say "have a butcher's at this"
Which would be instructing you to do the rhyme of whatever goes with "butchers", in this case, "hook" and therefore "look"

My god, i'm from yorkshire and i still know how it works! :P
