How would you speak in riddles, or word games?

Like faeries do in books. How would you go about speaking in riddles or playing word games. Where what you say doesn’t exactly mean what people think. So your words have double meanings???
Please help…
I don’t mean like adding b’s infront of words. I mean like something like. "Shall I fall flat on my face in my attempt…" etc..

google cockney rhyming slang on wikipedia. Apples and pears are stairs. Frog and toad is road, etc.

    When i went to school, they had a time when they spoke funny and they would a b in place of the letter of the word you were saying. Like, Bo bou, bant bo bo but bo bat? Do you want to go out to eat? Of course no one will know what your saying. Or you can make up you own way to do it, using another letter.

    I listened to a cockney in London one time and did not understand a word he said for 15 minutes.

    usually it isn’t everyone walking around talking in riddles. It’s usually more the wiser folk of the town. Like in most Sci-Fi novel,s you have the village elders, and they talk in riddles, keeping the reader on edge about what they really mean.

    Example : You have a girl, and she is a quite type. Nobody talks to her, and when they do, she never answers directly. Like if someone asks if she did her home work she’d say "I could have, but then again, maybe I didn’t" She’s speaking around the subject.

    I think if you want to speak in riddles then you really just have to make sure of what you rally want to say, and then make a path of words around it. Ya know?
