The structure uses the rhyming pair "Hank Marvin" (the British musician's name) to stand for "starving," 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 extremely hungry, often reduced to just "Hank." People typically say "I'm Hank Marvin" or "Let's eat, I'm absolutely Hank." The term originated in mid to late 20th century London rhyming slang, drawing on Hank Marvin, lead guitarist of The Shadows, and remains a recognizable modern example.
