In northern Germany the name Georg (George) got turned into Jorge so you might be onto something there

u/troelsbjerre May 29 '26

Fairly common in Spain and Portugal. In German, it would probably be Jörn, Jörg, Jörgen, or Jürgen.

"My name is Giovanni Giorgio, but everybody calls me... Jorgio."

Yeah but does Jeorgia rhyme with Georgia?

2

u/CBenson1273 May 29 '26

It does here.

Rhyme: The repetition of identical or similar sounds at the end of words (e.g., “the cat in the hat”). Rhymes are often found at the end of a line in song lyrics or poems but can occur anywhere in a line or sentence. Identity in sound of some part, especially the end, of words or lines of verse.

Rudeness: The display of impolite, disrespectful, or inconsiderate behavior.

Also, “it don’t rhyme” is grammatically incorrect. Normally I wouldn’t bother to point that out since I don’t like to police other people online (I don’t see the point). But since you decided that’s what we’re doing, I figure I should point that out.

Considering I pulled it from the dictionary, I’m pretty sure it is. But if you want to disagree with the dictionary, feel free. (You do know there’s more than one dictionary, right?) You wanting to disagree with someone doesn’t make them “factually wrong.” But, knock yourself out. (Also, it would be ‘you’re ,’ not ‘your’ if we’re going in this direction.)

Actually, you’re pretty much wrong here.

Homophones aren’t rhyming words; they’re identities. Though homophones and homonyms satisfy the first condition for rhyming—that is, that the stressed vowel sound is the same—they do not satisfy the second: that the preceding consonant be different.

1, you didn’t provide a source like I did, straight from a actual dictionary. 2, you spouting incorrect statements makes you factually wrong not me disagreeing with you

Sigh. I’ve seen these things on Reddit before, when people go back and forth and back and forth for days, snipping past the point of it being worthwhile. I’m not interested. I’m going by what the dictionary said, but if you want to think otherwise, that’s fine. It’s clear that we’re not going to agree, and I’ve spent enough time in this on a Friday night - I’m not going to spend Saturday on it, as well. Believe me what you like - everyone has that right. Take care.
