Plates of meat? Plates of meat?
I probably won't use that phrase with the chickens in earshot.

It's certainly possible for the flappers to change colour, but I wouldn't expect that much. Kinda hard to see, but my boy had yellow feet from the word go.

I also don't see what else they could be.

Plates of Meat is Cockney Rhyming Slang for feet!

I lived near London and still had never heard of that.

Translation:

You must be joking, old friend. If you come around here, then I will teach you how to speak properly. Better still, give me a twenty pound note and I will give you a tour around the whole neighbourhood. Scotch that, if you pay me five hundred quid, I will give you my wife.
