Today's BWOTD is some cockney rhyming slang to throw my many 'tea loving' readers out there:
"That boy has always been a right tea-leaf"
'Tea-leaf' = Thief
I am not 100% certain, but I actually think this phrase features in the script of the movie 'Oliver Twist' about one of the young pickpockets.

Cockney rhyming slang is very popular here in Oz as well!
