who correctly predicted that James Blunt would be the next cockney slang word for ...erm, uh, well you know....

James Blunt most popular new Cockney Rhyming Slang suggestion for fifth month running! (Acckkkk!!!!)
Here at cockneyrhymingslang.co.uk we have to ask ourselves - given that nearly all celebrity names are turned into some form of Cockney Rhyming Slang at some point - and given that James Blunt's REAL name is in fact James BLOUNT - which has no hilarious Cockney connotations at all - why would he choose to call himself James Blunt, when it's Cockney Rhyming Slang equivalent is is so blindingly obvious!? Answers on a postcard. But please - don't anybody submit James Blunt as new Cockney slang - everybody knows what it rhymes with :-)
OK I Just have to interrupt here...is James Bl(o)unt English? ...waitaminit....Wiki says yes he is.....ok well....um, should we tell them the other meaning for blunt? Hee hee! My theory is that he didnt wanna be mistaken for this guy while Wiki-ing.
James Blunt - lovely guy, shame about the stage name
