Oranges and lemons

Good morning all. Another sunny, shorts and t-shirt week starting here in Ireland. So most of us probably know that nothing rhymes with orange. Lozenge is a half-rhyme and so doesn't count. But can you name another word that no other word in the English language rhymes with? There is one that I know of. regards, Paul Watson Ireland Feed Henry!

Surely "late", "bait", "date", "fate", "gate", "hate", "kate", "mate", "rate", & "wait" rhyme with "discombobulate" ColinMackay.net Scottish Developers are looking for speakers for user group sessions over the next few months. Do you want to know more?

hehe. I never pronounce the "ph" in twelfth. My twelth comes out just like wealth. (I did have speech therapy when I was younger.) regards, Paul Watson Ireland Feed Henry! K(arl) wrote: oh, and BTW, CHRISTIAN ISN'T A PARADOX, HE IS A TASMANIAN!

That's what I thought, but
From Wikipedia Article:
That is not to say that there are no rhymeless words, however; there are in fact many, including such words as marathon and discombobulate. If one restricts the list to words of just one or two syllables, however, the list is fairly short.
I suppose, technically, since you're only rhyming with the last syllable it's not a full word rhyme.... maybe :P Cheers, Will H

Enough ? I am not sure but I read it somewher and can't think of any similar rhyme from top of my head. "Writing specifications is like writing a novel. Writing code is like writing poetry."

The pronunciation is a little off so that it would not sound correct when spoken. It would break the rhyme. www.merrens.com

I thought rhyming meant just the vowel sounds :~ Wordweb says I'm wrong:
Rhyming: Having corresponding sounds especially terminal soundsCheers, Vikram.
