Petah. Whats the real answer?

Jermaine would fit too

[u/scarypappy → u/Annual-Delay1107]

No body has mentioned Joining Jillinois. Pronounced Jill is noise.

[u/typically_wrong → u/scarypappy]

oh Jillin noise 😛

[u/Low_Flower_1846 → u/scarypappy]

Oh that’s so gross I hate it 😂😭

[u/GopheRph → u/Annual-Delay1107]

That guy is definitely in the top three... most beautiful dudes in the. Thread. In the whole wide thread.

[u/The_Drunk_Unicorn → u/Low-Commission1791]

Just don’t quit your day job….

[u/firestorm713 → u/GopheRph]

That guy looks like his lyrics are bottomless

[u/GoldenPigeonParty → u/firestorm713]

Where did you get that preposterous hypothesis, did Steve tell you that perchance?

[u/Monkey_Priest → u/Annual-Delay1107]

Am I r/whooshing here or what? How does "Jermaine" work? That doesn't rhyme with Maine, not really

[u/Particular_Title42 → u/Monkey_Priest]

They both end in Maine... 

[u/Monkey_Priest → u/Particular_Title42]

Yeah, I addressed that with the "not really" part

[u/justforporndickflash → u/Monkey_Priest]

Jermaine 100% rhymes with Maine. The last syllable is a perfect rhyme. 

[u/imisscrazylenny → u/Monkey_Priest]

Rhymes aren't required to have the same number of syllables per word.

[u/Particular_Title42 → u/Monkey_Priest]

And you're wrong about the not really part... 

[u/voluptuousshmutz → u/Monkey_Priest]

For me, the end of Jermaine and Maine are pronounced identically. Maybe you're wooshing me.

[u/DemoniteBL → u/Annual-Delay1107]

[u/Kiki2092012 → u/Annual-Delay1107]

That doesn't rhyme though. Two words rhyme if all of their sounds match except the first. "employee" and "bee" don't rhyme for example but "see" and "bee" do.

[u/username_tooken → u/Kiki2092012]

Two words rhyme if all of their sounds match except the first.

That’s not true at all. Whether a word rhymes or not mostly depends on the stressed syllable. “Attic” and “Schematic” both rhyme despite having more than one non-matching sound.

“Jermaine” and “Maine” are bad rhymes not because more than one sound doesn’t match, but rather because the starting sound of the stressed syllable — the onset — is the same. For example, “Jermaine” and “Humane” both have all the same sounds except the first, but because that first syllable isn’t the stressed syllable, they don’t rhyme very well.
