Answer 1

Rhyming slang is not widely used. It originates and is used mainly in London where "cockneys" come from and is called cockney.

China plate = mate (friend)
ham bone = phone (telephone)
hugs ands kisses = misses (wife)
Often you have to look at the context of the word or phrase to figure out its meaning. This meaning can also be a euphanism or slang term as shown above.

Don't bother learning slang terms. Proper words are much more useful. As your English improves you will start learning the slang terms and the appropriate places to use them.

Answer 2

"I couldn't Adam and Eve it when I was told that my football team had lost."
There's an example .
Remember that not everyone you talk with will know what you mean if you try talking slang with them. Slang changes very quickly. "Adam and Eve it", for believe is Cockney rhyming slang. And it's old fashioned.
It might be better for you to concentrate on standard English.
It's forty winks.

Answer 3

Forty winks. I don't understand the part of the question about Adam and Eve.
