Lingua Franker
Some select cash machines in London offer to enliven your cash withdrawing experience by selecting Cockney as the language. Cockney rhyming slang was the patois of street traders who wanted to talk without customers understanding. The rhyming word was not normally spoken, so this machine would be for sausage, not sausage and mash (= cash) making it far more difficult to understand. Still, you can find this one, if you want, outside Bow Road station.
