Dimwell Arrhythmic Rhyming Slang
From Discworld & Pratchett Wiki
The only rhyming slang, anywhere, that does not rhyme and in fact is very carefully devised to avoid creating any rhyme, rhythm, alliteration, internal or external assonance, or anything even remotely resembling or which might be mistaken for poetic structure.
Examples include:
Syrup of Prunes - Wig
Cup and plate - No definition, but means "not right" as in "he's a bit cup-and-plate in the head.
A prominent speaker is Tolliver Groat, the current Deputy Postmaster.
