"EastEnders" by benchen71
Welcome to...
benchen71's Metas on a Tuesday (MOAT)
Can you storm the castle by getting across the MOAT? Full confession: I've never watched a single episode of the long-running UK drama "EastEnders". But there is something truly wonderful about the argot of the particular part of London in which this show is set. And so onwards to the puzzle! If you are unfamiliar with Cockney argot, then Google may be of assistance. Hopefully, you find the answer to the meta, which is a noun.
The easiest way to submit is on Crosshare (and you get instant feedback and unlimited attempts!) But you can also PM me with your submission. Either way, I'll compile a list of those who successfully solve the meta.
EastEnders - Crosshare
EastEnders - PUZ
EastEnders - PDF
(As an experiment I am not providing the spreadsheet - comment below if you really want it!)
Nudges are here.
The solution is here.

Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta!

Not a meta, but, yeesh!, that was tough to create.

DeMOATed. Ham and cheesy, lemon squeesy... (not really, but it's fun to say) Thanks, Ben.

Moat crossed, castle stormed (with a bit of a redirect from a kind muggle). Thanks for the puzzle, Ben!

I stumbled at the bridge and submitted early. I was turned away by the guard but quickly regrouped. MOAT crossed.

I have an answer (and 3 ways to submit it) that works so well, I can’t believe it’s not being accepted.
Edit: got it now. But I stand by my funner answer. ( :
