All day the other at my work we had a few cockneys working and all they kept saying was
Ohhh he had that guy on toast
Ohhh he ha that guy on hovis
And now ive just heard someone on the radio say it.
What the hell does it mean?

Ok, but how do they get that from toast?
Stuff on toast is usually splatted.
e.g. I was totally gazeeboed last night - pissed (Michael McIntyre)
e.g. wow, that film was well crisps - great (Jon Richardson)
So when they was talking about how Gareth Bale had there right back 'On Toast'
They meant he was splatterd?
madness
Perhaps an adoption of this?
We use it in Kent and that was before the Estuary invasion.
Cockneys still exist?
That guy on toast = he's broken, finished, done over, or on floor
That guy on hovis = he's pinned on/to a post
Oh, now I get it. It may mean he got it spot on. He finished it on a perfect note. End of a story. No more to be said. Right on the nose.
that guy on toast = he broke it (he did it), he floored it, etc.
that guy on hovis = he pinned it to the post.
And I always think it refers to having something on toast as being an easy meal..............can't be bothered cooking, just have something on toast................so to have something on toast is to have something that's easy
You beat me to it, Hovis= Brown Bread=Dead.
aw c'mon now me ole china...
