Cockney rhyming slang for cocaine.
Caine is known for his pronounced Cockney accent. Cockney rhyming slang replaces works with ones that rhyme - âapples and pearsâ for stairs, âpork piesâ for lies (and further shortened to âporkiesâ), etc. With an English accent, âMichaelâ sounds a bit like âmy-co.â Add in his last name, and Michael Caine becomes slang for Peruvian marching powder.
âAre you coming the the party tonight? Make sure to bring your mate Michael Caineâ
