Jaffa Cockney Rhyming Slang


Jaffa is Cockney rhyming slang for an infertile man


Common slang (not rhyming slang) to mean a man who is “seedless” (as Jaffa oranges are supposed to be), therefore unable to have children.

This joke features in an episode of Only Fools and Horses.

Some examples from our lovely readers:

  • “What no kids, you a Jaffa?” (Carol)
  • “He can’t have kids, he’s a Jaffa” (Phil)
