The article analyzes the statements in the English rhyming slang as an original phenomenon of linguistic nonsense, since the culture of nonsense is an interesting and little-studied phenomenon. The point of view is expressed that statements in the English rhyming slang are not only one of the ways of language coding intended for communication of "initiates", but also a special kind of semi-sentence statement that is formulated correctly in itself, but the subject in this case is attributed to a predicate that does not suit it.
