This interesting word does not in fact rhyme with without a stitch, nor with horny b*tch (O perish the thought); but rather (saving your presence) with dick and prick (alternate rhyme-words available on request).

Hi,
ReplyDeleteThanks for pointing it out. I have altered rhymebrain.com with the proper pronunciation.
Peace, and thanks for your note.
ReplyDeleteThat post is really just part of a running jest. Some time ago, I experimented with trying to boost the precedence in Google searches for the phrase “humble woodchuck”, and later “Urysohn Metrization Theorem”. These experiments worked. But, despite having published numerous monostichs, and essays about that genre, this site still has almost no Google-creds for a search on “monostich”. So this is part of jocularly goosing the stats.
That “orthoëpy” business is also kind of an inside joke: I’ve noticed from the blogspot stats that many readers seem to like this sort of rare and curious-looking word, and search on them to find this site.
Be well.
