Topic Options #206928 - 08/31/12 07:53 AM Word origin...Cockney 1969 stranger Registered: 08/31/12 Posts: 1 Loc: New York USA I've had no luck so far find the origin of the word "Cockney". I know what it means...a Londoner born within the sound of St. Mary-le-Bow's bells but not the derivation of the word itself. Help?
