The structure uses the rhyming pair "Adam and Eve" to stand for "believe," following the typical Cockney pattern of replacing a word with a phrase that rhymes with it. It is used in Cockney rhyming slang (London, UK) to mean to believe something, often in negative constructions like "Would you Adam and Eve it?" meaning "Would you believe it?" The term originated in early 20th century London East End rhyming slang culture, and remains a classic example known to many Britons even if less used in daily speech.
