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."

Doesn't month rhyme with grunt? :~ If I'm wrong, keep in mind that English is not my native language. :-O Cheers, Vikram.

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.

Delores and Mulva? Montreal great Guy Lafleur, quoted by CBC on being mugged while vacationing recently in Buenos Aires: "I didn't have any time to react before I got a sucker-punch in the eye. It was like one of the players from the Bruins."

That's the clincher... with false-rhymes, tail-rhymes verses true rhymes. :) The full word rhyme would be a perfect rhyme. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau. Talk about things of tomorrow and the mice in the ceiling laugh. (Japanese Proverb)
