Whilst planning our pitch to the class we decided that not everybody would get the name 'Knash' as our original connotations of the title were to mean the cockney slang 'Jonny Knash' - 'CASH'.

After much deliberation me jack and mitch figured we would stick to the idea of using a title that signifies cockney rhyming slang although use something a little more meaningful, which also gives a sense of the cheeky side to our film as we want to portray our characters as likeable, and humorous. We finally arrived at what we think is an exellent title for a british gangster film - 'Brass Monkeys'.

The actual way someone would use the term 'Brass monkeys' is to say the weather is cold. which actually represents the iconic british weather in london. We also found that Brass monkeys can mean slang for testicals. This is great for our film as it isn't a name that will offend anyone as the term brass monkeys is not rude, although it has connotations of cheekyness and gives our characters 'balls'.
