The letter B sounds like a bee. Add the f and you get Beef or Mutton!

I'm lost with the B - the thing about the cockney alphabet is that it sometimes requires a lot of lateral thinking...difficult for me at this time of day!

Oh, I geddit!! Button!!! LOL!

I need to lie down, now. The butcher looks like he's doing a merry jig!

My late uncle was a butcher; he wore a hat just like the butcher here. He spoke "Marylander." Big round vowels and clipped consonants.

I'm with Pall. Please take this all the way through the alphabet.
