mikkers Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 you do make me larf!! deani_age meant? rotavator, madam, level as (palindrome) words not rhymes I realised that just as I turned my computer off last night after work, and believe it or not its been bugging me all day! What a dullard. Sorry! Anyway, its meant to be tattarrattat but rotavator is more of a known word. And what the hell has the rotary club got to do with it?!

mikkers Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 If you are in the Rotary club Hugh can you ask the lads to put a bit more effort into Santa's float this year, its been getting worse year on year. Last year it was a Trident trailer towed by a Mondeo. And tell Santa to cheer up too, it's meant to be for charity. Grumpy sod. And the sound system has been lacking of late too.

stum450n Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 (edited) i would like to say sorry, because someone as been using my user name, ive been out all day,ive only just got home so im not sure what this is all about, but i do believe the words are??? orange, silver & month please correct me if i am wrong purple, ninja, diamond, liquid, engine, comment, iron... there's loads! ============================== I've just been thinking about this one actually... there's a catch to this question, do you mean a refractory rhyme or a perfect rhyme (an exact match of all sounds after the stressed vowel?) If it's a perfect rhyme, there's technically only one... 'of' but north of say, Birmingham, it could be argued that words like 'love' or 'dove' will rhyme with it because of the stress pattern of local pronunciation so I guess that rules out perfect rhymes. Yes, I know I need to get a life! Edited June 11, 2009 by stum450n
quentin_moss Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 The usual answer is hushion, a rather unusual Scots dialect word for a footless stocking (a sort of leg-warmer). A rather better-known Scots word is fushion, meaning `spirit, energy, gumption' or (in referring to food) `wholesomeness'. Neither word is in standard use outside Scotland. The complete Oxford English Dictionary also lists the word parishion meaning the same as `parishioner' (a member or inhabitant of a parish). However, this word died out in the 16th century without ever settling into a consistent spelling. I cheated (like everyone else probably did ) and found this online, im not clever enough to come up with them without help
leebo77 Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 no cheating, be honest http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=which+words+in+th...y+do+not+rhyme+
mikkers Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Chilver rhymes with silver. It's a sheep. Anyone got anything that rhymes with pavement? I remember the band Pavement stating it has no rhymes and I can't think of any.
mikkers Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) purple, ninja, diamond, liquid, engine, comment, iron... there's loads! As in iron, like a lion, in zion. Iron, lion, zion. Bob Marley didn't seem to have a problem And I once knew a ninja. He was ginger and a whinger and a weekend binger. Edited June 12, 2009 by Mikkers
