Thread Name: Help: Phrase in Stanley Holloway monologue
Subject: Phrase in Stanley Holloway monologue
There's a Stanley Holloway monologue in the DT called Three ha'pence a foot, which has the lines, "So Sam put his tongue out at Noah, And Noah made long bacon at Sam." Does anyone know what "long bacon" means? I've searched all the slang/colloquial/dialect references online that I can find, and none of them have it listed. Can anyone help?

Cheers,

Grab.
