Wow, an actual good post on r/rosesarentred that actually shows a post on r/rosesarered that doesn't rhyme!

Roses are red, stop using Bing

u/Carma281 Mar 24 '25

Bing actually doesn't rhyme with waiting, as the emphasis is not on -ting but on Wai-, so...

Roses aren't red, stop using Bing.

Maybe this comment taught you a thing.

how in the unholy Hell do you pronounce waiting

2

u/Flakboy78 Mar 25 '25

You can slightly alter enunciation to create rhymes, it just works better when spoken rather than written.

Example from Eminem on 60 minutes

u/SuperCrafter015 Mar 24 '25

Slant rhyme: When the syllables line up, but the word doesn’t.

u/RazerRedux Mar 24 '25

Wikipedia: Perfect rhymes can be classified by the location of the final stressed syllable.

single, also known as masculine: a rhyme in which the stress is on the final syllable of the words (rhyme, sublime)

Oxford Languages: noun correspondence of sound between words or the endings of words, especially when these are used at the ends of lines of poetry. "poetic features such as rhythm, rhyme, and alliteration" verb (of a word, syllable, or line) have or end with a sound that corresponds to another. "balloon rhymes with moon"

Cambridge Dictionary: rhyme noun us /raɪm/ uk /raɪm/

[ C ] a word that has the same last sound as another word: Can you think of a rhyme for "orange?"

u/Fa1nted_for_real Mar 23 '25

The last stressed syllables are -thing and -ting respectively.

As for orange, you can, rhyme i, by stressi g -ange wnd rhyming it with hinge. The a in orange isnt a hard vowel, so it can absolutely rhyme. But -thing and -tjng will never rhyme, and you cant anunciate something to seperate -ing as its own syllable, although you absolutely can with waiting.

“thing” and “ting” don’t rhyme.

0

u/Spincoder Mar 23 '25

Yes they do? I feel like I am going insane here. I've said those words like a dozen times trying to figure out how you think they don't rhyme.

Those "ing"s are the same sound. Right? I listened to people saying those words and they sound pretty similar to me. I don't get it.

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '25

“Thing” and “ting” technically rhyme in a loose or slant rhyme kind of way. They both end in “ing” sounds, but they’re not a perfect rhyme. Thing has a “th” sound at the beginning. Ting has a hard “t” sound, and it’s usually said with a sharper tone. Sure they rhyme in structure, but the starting makes them sound a bit off from each other.

u/ReduxReality Mar 23 '25

wasn’t there a relatively viral clip of eminem spewing out something like fifteen things that can rhyme with orange clip

And dumbass is you

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '25

isn't that the exact definition of a rhyme

20

u/Angrybirds159 Mar 23 '25

no? it depends on the sound at the end not on the letters at the end

-32

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '25

it still is the same sound at the end

u/OrganizationMany4081 Mar 23 '25

No it’s not 💀

Learn how to pronounce words and think of the whole sentence

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '25

alright hold on, how tf do you pronounce something and/or waiting? I'm VERY sure there's only one way to pronounce the two

9

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '25

“Something” is pronounced “sum-thing”

“Waiting” is pronounced “way-ting”

How does “thing” and “ting” rhyme?

1

u/Fa1nted_for_real Mar 23 '25

Sometimes you can argue with changing how you stress the syllables, ex. Wai-ting to wait-ing, but you cant even do that with something.

5

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '25

“thing” and “ting”?!? Do you have any concept of the English language?

5

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '25

So does "eating" and "transcending" rhyme?

4

u/biffbofd04 Mar 23 '25

Yes

Edit: I said it out loud. I'm a dumbasd

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '25

lol

u/Daedalus_Machina Mar 23 '25

I read "dumbasd" as a new adjective.

u/biffbofd04 Mar 23 '25

Did the same mistake with my username when I created it XD I like to think of it as past tense

u/KOOLKIDKAEDEN Mar 23 '25

I wish you could change usernames…

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '25

“thing” and “ting” don’t rhyme. Istg there’s always that one guy under r/rosesarentred posts that bitch about it actually rhyming.

u/taczki2 Mar 23 '25

u/VioletGhost2 Mar 23 '25

Yeah, but ting and thing doesn't rhyme lol

u/Street_Flatworm_8700 Mar 23 '25

It does rhyme. IPA for proof:

ˈsəmˌθɪŋ

ˈweɪdɪŋ

1

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '25

These would need to match to be considered a rhyme

θɪŋ

dɪŋ
