These people were quickly put in their place.
‘I am 23 and I have heard all of these except for the rat coffin,’ said another.

Others said they know pies and samosas as rat coffins.
Others offered up their own slang terms, delighting the young woman further.
‘Pensioners piano is my favourite term for the pokies,’ one woman said.
‘Next time he has a sore back ask him if there is anything you can do to ‘fix the old Gary Jack,’ another offered.
