‘Nelly Duff’ is cockney rhyming slang for LIFE. No really.
Duff rhymes with puff, puff meaning breath, as in ‘breath of life’. Which is where the phrase ‘...not on yer nelly!’ originates.
As far as we know Miss Duff was fictitious, although we reckon she was a tattooed, arm wrestling pin-up girl, who walked the streets at night in a hoodie.
