I approve, although half-hearted, of 14.

I actually really like 14.

One or two more votes for 14 and we can run with it.

Eh, sure. Not seen anything in particular in the thread that caught my interest, but that's not actively bad...

[up] Good enough. Now, should we go with the version in 14, or the DVD cover in 5? I lean toward the latter since it provides a little more context than 14 on its own.

14 is the better option but it's the difference between added context (cheap compilation of films you've never heard of sitting at the bottom of a bargain bin) and just using something somewhat generic.

I have no horse in this really as I think either is meh but 14 is the least bad.

Either 5 on its own or 14 with a caption.

I'll add in 14 with a caption - this is one of those tropes that doesn't seem very easily done with an image.

Any ideas for a caption? I'm drawing a blank.

"You 'eva plug a copper wit a icepick 'ere 'cros the Pond my son? Savvy?"

Or some Cockney-based threat like that.

"Did you ever kill a policeman with an icepick here in the UK? Got it?" Hm.

Seems more like an attempt to pack in a lot of slang, than something someone would say. Also Britons don't refer to themselves as being across the pond I don't think.

I did highlight that, it made no sense when translated.

Well you do understand the basic premise of the idea at least, yes?

That it should be something "Gangster" and "Londoner", in effect.

It should, yes but it should make sense as well. Can't just be As Long as It Sounds Foreign.

Perhaps refer to this short educational video then? Warning: May cause Facepalming in those of actual British origin.

and this list.

They're both divergent from Cockney slang and yes, it's a bit weird if you're actually British.

Bump; if we don't come up with a caption for 14 in the next coupla days, I'm putting 5 up.

Hearing nothing, 5 it is. It's up and tagged; locking up.
