Cockneydom

/ˈkɒkniˌdʌm/ noun

Definition

The realm, world, or community of Cockneys; Cockney culture and society collectively.

Etymology

From 'Cockney' plus the suffix '-dom' (indicating a domain or realm). Follows the pattern of 'kingdom,' 'Christendom,' and 'Heathendom.'

Kelly Says

The suffix '-dom' is ancient Germanic, used to describe entire kingdoms and belief systems—calling it 'cockneydom' playfully elevates East London working-class culture to royal status!
