The object of this game is to determine the two rhyming words that fit the definition given. The number of letters in the target words are shown in parentheses following the definition. For example: loaf topping (5)(6) = bread spread To continue the game after solving a definition, create your own defintion using the same rules. Here is the first definition: One who slices the bread spread (6)(6) = "God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say "thank you"? -William A. Ward

grammargeek, no, not yet. It's not that hard. The answer is fancy pants.

Fancy and pants don't rhyme, boneyfriend.

No wonder I was enjoying this game so much. I wasn't playing by the rules. Sorry. And I was so proud of myself. My entry Hercules/language gesture doesn't rhyme either. I was thinking of Atlas Shrugged. Next time I will pay more attention.

You're getting close, and the second word is two syllables.

Islanddreamer, yours is something like an oblique/semi rhyme, which is still a rhyme in my book.
Mine was a "perfect rhyme," according to rhyme rules. There is no specific term for an entire word (multi-syllabic) rhyming with the entirety of another word.
The most commonly accepted form of rhyme is where the last stressed syllable and everything after it (to the right) sound the same, this is considered a perfect rhyme. Anything that extends further to the left is considered more than perfect.
angry (3) young man (3) = mad lad

Perhaps it's time for an official ruling from capo as to what can pass for rhyming in this game. This is a good example for clarification, as well as whether or not the number of syllables must be the same.
What do you think, capo? It's your game.
