These are ones my FiL always used......

almonds for socks...........almond rocks?
boat for face..........boat race
barnet for hair barnet fair
minces for eyes mince pies

and others I know...

daisies for boots daisy roots
frog for road frog and toad ??

from what I remember reading, it came about from the costers in the East End who didn't want others to know what they were saying, so they would only use the one word, and not two......they would say apples for stairs......not apples and pears....
