Common Misspellings for LALLIE

Etymology of LALLIE

The word "Lallie" originally stems from Cockney rhyming slang, which traditionally developed in the East End of London in the 19th century. Cockney rhyming slang involves replacing a common word with a rhyming phrase, using the first word of the phrase to represent the intended meaning.

In this case, "Lallie" is derived from the phrase "lallie dodo", which rhymes with "bottle". Therefore, "Lallie" is a substitute for the word "bottle". The term "Lallie" became more widely known and understood, separate from its original rhyming slang context, especially in British popular culture.
