General
sherbet dab
What does sherbet dab mean?
A cab — a taxi. Sherbet dab rhymes with cab, and like most good Cockney it gets cut down to just 'sherbet'. Bonus layer: 'sherbet' has also long meant a drink, so 'jump in a sherbet' and 'have a sherbet' are two very different nights out.
"Pissing it down — let's grab a sherbet back to the flat."
