These words do not rhyme and I object to them pretending to.

[SirDigbyChickenCaesar]

Laugh and Scarf
Roar and Paw

every flipping night i read stories to DS that contain these words and get mightily pissed off.

yes, I know there are difference dialects and accents and people pronounce words differently but FGS if you are going to write a rhyming poem or story you have to realize that not everyone speaks like you.

say paw as pour and it rhymes with roar

i was trying to avoid the "n" word

i say baaaaath and laaaaaaaf and graaaaaaas and haaaaaaaaaaalf

etc

no me neither

sirdigby can you explain why roar and paw don't rhyme?

Message withdrawn

what n word?

PLEASE will SOMEONE explain how you can say paw that doesn't sound like pour though

fuck off cod.

Northern, cupsoftea.

paw

like a short O sound

laff??

larf and scarf here.

No problem.

Of course uriel!!!!

I can say bath, path like in jarra!! just have an rp accent.

paw

Is that pronounced po, then SirDigby?

BUt that's american and sounds like pear!

that helps not

I must say what do you expect from someone named after a romaine lettuce based salad created by an italian-born mexican?

isn't a po a short-form of chamber-pot and something one pisses in

(kindly note juxtaposition of the formal 'one' with pisses )

laff and scarf here

no idea what you are on about re roar and paw

have you been at the gin?

ah but to some people 'pour' will sound more like 'poo-er'

I don't have an 'r' at the end of my paw!

My p'aw' sound is like the o in 'bottle'

Does not rhyme with 'roar' which I think sounds like 'floor'.

that link to paw is the strangest pronounciation of paw I have ever heard.

twig stop trying to make up for your lack of form yesterday please

There is such a thing as trying too hard

So the paw sounds more like paw-er?

paw pore pour all the same to me.

Nothing like the link.

poo-er
how odd
and faintly disgusting

as for o as in bottle

you say po with the stress on the o??

are you chinese?

I DON'T CARE

why is this taking up my time?

I have children to look after you know
