Scarf and Giraffe don't rhyme

[SliceOfCakeCupOfTea]

Another night ready Julia Donaldson books and another frustrating non-rhymey rhyme.

Scarf and giraffe don't rhyme. Neither do plant and can't.

Anyone else??

Aaah this makes my teeth itch, the kids all know now that I get my TA to read that page because it rhymes in her accent but not in mine 😆

Curtain... pull... oh never mind, I'll get me coat.

But where’s the fun in that? 😂

If you are from the south both words have the same a sound

Those that are saying scarf and giraffe don’t rhyme - what would you rhyme giraffe with? Genuine question, I’m struggling to think of any other way to pronounce it.

Scarf and giraffe don't rhyme. (Sc ah f/ji raff)
Aunt and ant don't rhyme. (Ahh nt/ant)
Certain and curtain do rhyme.
Put and putt don't rhyme. (Poot/p uh t)
Plant and can't don't rhyme. (Pl a nt/c ah n't)
Scarf and laugh don't rhyme. (Sc ah f/laff)

The word rhyme is starting to look a bit weird now 🤪

Laugh.

Well now there's egg on my face

Bath

Yes both examples do rhyme to a southerner.

Bath/laugh/path/giraffe/scarf all rhyme to me.

Whoa!! That was in response to the Curtin pun by @EndlessMagpies

I am NOT admitting defeat on the key subject

Yes, or laugh

I need this time saving energy on more threads.

There'd be no 'cancel the cheque' on and on and on-ery nonsense with you keeping watch.

In my mind you'd look like Shirl from Eastenders.

I much prefer her non rhyming stories.

Aunt and ant definitely do not rhyme to someone from the south.

I have nothing against her stories but I feel they are accent-ist

carafe.

In my accent giraffe and scarf rhyme as much as giraffe and testicle do.

giraffe and caff (as in “I’m going down the caff for a bite to eat”)

Great. Now there's gin in my nose tubes.

They rhyme In my saff london accent. 😁

Depends on your accent I guess. Rhymes for me. So do plant and can't.

giraffe and caff (as in “I’m going down the caff for a bite to eat”)

got you!

My boss is from saaff landan too and he spends about 90% of our meetings just trying to figure out what words I'm saying. It's how I get away with doing what I want.
