well, we got our Nat King Cole
well, we got our Nat King Cole
I'm just editing tonight's show and after one break Galloway says 'Well, we got our Nat King Cole' and calmly moves on. This probably means very little to most people in the world - but trust me, I burst out laughing... Glasgow has it's own kind of rhyming slang like the Cockerneys, but one which is a bit more subtle in that you usually drop the indicating rhyme in the phrase... In this case 'Nat King Cole' means 'hole', as in getting a shag - a term used by men and women!
