I've never used mong in a nasty way, usually used as a term for being baked these days "I'm off for a joing and mong out in front of the tele" think it's just the older generation that see it as a derogatory term. I could be wrong though...

That is how I see it.

Baked? Mong out? Is that is in 'this fish would go nicely with some monged out beans'?

No

"That monged out fish would go nicely with some baked beans"

No comment......

By the way, I think the correct PC term is Scopers......

Can I ask, what made you decide to use that as your user name?

Indeed, i had to google it!

I remain skeptical of this claimed origin. The "Berkeley Hunt", is pronounced "Barkley". The only Berkeley that is pronounced like berk is in California, and I'm pretty sure that's not where Cockney Rhyming Slang originates.

The really interesting thing is that Berkely in the UK is actually correctly pronounced as they do in the USA. That is because the language was exported with the settlers and did not evolve as it did here (with "Berk.." becoming "Barc..." ). So a long time ago it could well have been perfect rhyming slang...

"wker" is* hugely offensive to catholics, because it's forbidden by God and they don't do it because it's a sin.

Catholics in a 'not doing something because it's a sin' shocker!!

First time for everything, I suppose.

Pope must be excused from that. No other reason for wearing a frock.
