Gang is to Bang, Time is to Rhyme, Orange is to.. ???

- Rappers feel it. Poets feel it. Hell, speech writers && wanna-be "eloquent speakers" feel it too. the hated 'Writer's Block'. This is a short list of words compiled[Thanks to my good friend Wikipedia], that you STAY AWAY FROM if you plan on completing your rhyme book, composition book, post-it notes or whatever anytime soon. (These words have NO rhymes. [If you find one, let ME know..])


WARNING! RAPPERS STAY AWAY!


{The following is a list of English words without rhymes, or refractory rhymes, i.e. a list of words in the English language which rhyme with no other English words in the strict sense that they are pronounced in the same way from the vowel sound of the main stressed syllable onwards. They may not be considered rhymes if they are identical in those syllables—for instance, bay and obey often do not count as rhymes. Multiple-word rhymes, self rhymes (adding a prefix to a word and counting it as a rhyme of itself), and compound words have not been considered.}

#1. bulb
#2. chaos
#3. circle
#4. month
#5. music
#6. orange
#7. purple
#8. silver
#9. siren
#10. toilet

- Im sure there are many other rhyme-less words out there, i just thought it funny that so many everyday, common words live their daily lives rhyme-less! how sad. lls.
