Least Rhymable Word: Difference between revisions

 

Incidentally, many of these words do have rhymes, even without resorting to midword rhyme, slant rhyme, or a non-standard pronunciation for the speaker's normal accent. These are usually very obscure (silver and chilver, a female lamb) or non-English (month and granth, Hindi for book, also a Sikh holy text). That's [[Quite Interesting]], isn't it?

* ''[[Drake and Josh]]'' uses the "orange"/"door hinge" rhyme.

* In [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=To9LRUGtnRQ this scene] from ''[[Wings (TV)|Wings]]'', Brian tries to win Alex back by improvising a song over the terminal microphone. His plan hits a snag when he realizes "nothing rhymes with Alex." Nevertheless, he gets a round of applause at the end (but doesn't win her back).

* ''[[The Golden Girls]]'': Rose and Dorothy are trying to write a song about Miami for a contest and Rose criticizes Dorothy's lyrics.

Chandler: [[Sarcasm Mode|All good.]] }}

* In ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', the human William the Bloody (so named for his bloody awful poetry) had a very hard time coming up with a rhyme for ''effulgent'', praising Cecily {{spoiler|who was '''possibly''' -- the experts disagree -- actually the vengeance demon Halfrek}}. The best he could do was ''bulge in't''. Incredibly and ironically enough, the only character known to have ''liked'' William's, later Spike's, poetry was [[Angel (TV)|Angel]]. (Which, since Angel also likes Barry Manilow, Spike takes as an insult.)
