You could also go with ‘bull skull’.

Level 43

Oct 28, 2013

Maybe it's because bull is pronounce 'bool' while skull is 'skull'. It's rhyming words not similarly spelt words.

Level 77

Jan 3, 2014

you must be British. Bull and Skull rhyme in America.

Level 79

Jan 23, 2024

No they don't lol

Level 91

Jan 11, 2014

No they don't, buck1017. They are pronounced just as choosegoose said in the portion of America outside of buck's head. Parenthetically, the words choose and goose have a similar relationship, which I guess makes this a little bit ironic.

Level 74

Jan 11, 2014

I agree with buck1017. Cow brow makes more sense than bull skull, but bull and skull rhyme according to one of the ways I commonly hear them pronounced. I sometimes hear skull pronounced skawl, but I've never heard bull pronounced bool.

Level 57

Mar 30, 2014

I'm Canadian, and they bull and skull definitely do not rhyme. Bull is pronounced like full, whereas skull is pronounced like dull.

Level 89

Oct 22, 2014

Must be regional differences. I'm from California and bull, skull, full, and dull all rhyme to me.

Level 45

Nov 4, 2014

Washingtonian here... they all rhyme to me! Except choose and goose. But everything else rhymes.

Level 68

Sep 1, 2016

Bull, skull, full, and dull rhyme in Washington (where I live), at least. But I have heard people in other parts of the US pronounce the vowels in full and bull like a mix between the A in ball and the U in skull.... Anyway they all rhyme to me.

Level 13

Sep 2, 2016

Where I'm from in England we pronounce them differently

Level 38

Sep 4, 2016

Like, does that mean yal pronounce skull like school? How the hell are bull and skull supposed to rhyme? I've been trying with every imitation of accent i can think of, and i reckon it'd take a Minasotan at the least. Bull school would work though

Level 25

Sep 4, 2016

For me, I find this incredibly interesting. In Ohio, we say bull and full the same, and then skull and dull the same. I just think that's so cool, how even within one country and we all speak the same language, words can sound totally different between group of people.

Level 44

Nov 21, 2016

I am a Minnesotan, and bull, skull, dull, and full all rhyme to me!

Level 48

Mar 23, 2019

American here. Bull and skull don't rhyme at all. Well that did rhyme.

Level 56

Mar 26, 2019

They don't rhyme in Virginia

Level 48

Nov 15, 2021

One person from England says they don't rhyme. I'm from England, too, and 'bull' and 'skull' rhyme in my accent xD

Level 56

Sep 22, 2016

I'm from VA where bull and skull do not rhyme.

Level 60

Oct 1, 2016

Same. Though I have friends from New Jersey who pronounce them the same (they say them both like "pull").

Level 52

Mar 23, 2019

I’m from from VA as well but skull and bull certaintly rhyme where I am

Level 75

Mar 25, 2019

Southeast Missourian here, and full and bull rhyme for me, but not with skull and dull which rhyme with each other. Cull, lull, and mull also rhyme with skull, but pull rhymes with full and bull.

Level 45

May 22, 2019

I'm from England and where I'm from, 'bull', 'skull', 'full' and 'dull all rhyme?

Level 89

Mar 17, 2019

Fascinating

Level 66

Mar 25, 2019

In New York, bull/full rhyme, dull/skull rhyme, but bull/skull do not.

Level 83

Nov 28, 2022

Bull skull worked for me in 2022.

Level 65

Oct 7, 2023

TL;DR but this thread is so weird that I took a screenshot for my phonics instruction course to look at. We're taught to respect regional differences in pronunciation but according to the IPA, the medial vowel in "bull" is the /ʊ/ phoneme and is different from the medial vowel in "skull", which is the /ʌ/ phoneme or the short u sound. If you are pronouncing "bull" with the same vowel sound as "up", you are the one with the regional or non-standard pronunciation. You are not wrong in that sense, however you are not using a standard pronunciation. In standard English, "book" and "buck" would not be homophones.

Level 45

Jan 11, 2014

I came up with 'Swamp Damp' for Marsh Mist and I had Black Pack in stead of Black Sack.

Level 58

Jan 11, 2014

I tried "narrow marrow" for thin legume hahahahaha

Level 44

Jan 11, 2014

Poor and door don't rhyme at all. Long and short 'o's respectively.

Level 46

Jan 11, 2014

I'm so confused, I've never heard them pronounced any way in which they don't rhyme.

Level 67

Jan 11, 2014

It depends on context. If you say "Poor Butterfly" in a normal manner, "poor" will rhyme with "door." If you give the first word an exaggerated emphasis, then it sounds more like "newer."

Level 44

Jan 12, 2014

Door has a sound like the start of orange and poor sounds like a Scottish moor.

Level 58

Sep 1, 2016

How else would you say these that they don't rhyme?

Level 53

Sep 3, 2016

"Door" is always just like "dore", whereas some people say "poor" as "po-or", making it sort of like a two-syllable word.

Level 85

Mar 23, 2019

The OED says they rhyme.

Level 84

Mar 24, 2019

Must be a British thing. In North America, "poor" rhymes with "newer", and "door" rhymes with "more". It's "oo" versus hard "o".

Level 75

Mar 25, 2019

In my part of North America - Missouri - poor rhymes with more and door.

Level 37

Jan 11, 2014

dance and pants DO NOT rhyme!!!!!!!!!!!! not even close... if you think they do you're not speaking properly

Level 59

Jan 11, 2014

Dude, I don't care if they don't rhyme in the UK, or wherever you're from, but they rhyme in America, thus, they DO INDEED rhyme. That doesn't mean they rhyme in every dialect, but they still rhyme.

Level 76

Mar 31, 2015

Don't you mean accent? The millions (including me) for whom that sounds like Darnts Pants send you a big hug.

Level 31

Mar 24, 2019

meaning that bull and skull rhyme, seeing as it's said like that in the north of England (ee by gum op noo nibble plusnet broadband)

Level 71

Mar 25, 2019

The only way they could rhyme is if you pronounce dance as "dants" or pants as "pance", and I've never heard either of those in any accent.

Level 66

May 25, 2023

Wow such a prentious comment that presumes one accent is the one true rule for the rest to follow... You ever heard of England dude?

Level 69

Jun 17, 2015

not a rhyme

Level 64

Sep 1, 2016

Put an exaggerated American accent on, that's how I got it to rhyme.

Level 79

Mar 28, 2019

They certainly rhyme in Australia.

Level 83

Can't believe Groin Coin didn't work for pelvic gratuity.... Ha! Still got it right after thinking a bit more, and the correct answer is better (though less funny). Great quiz.

Level 55

Dec 2, 2014

Agreed, I also was surprised when Groin Coin didn't work.Black Pack for Ebony Bag also works.

Level ∞

Sep 22, 2015

Groin coin. Nice. That one will work now.

Level 74

Feb 6, 2015

What about Blackpack for ebony bag?

Level 71

Sep 1, 2016

I kept trying "sheer beer", the word clear never crossed my mind. :(

Level 67

Sep 14, 2016

Same =(

Level 67

Jan 6, 2020

Another one for sheer beer

Level 79

Jun 21, 2022

I also vote for sheer beer

Level 74

Sep 1, 2016

All I could think of for "coral sorrow" was "roe woe", as in lobster coral (the eggs of a female lobster, which are delicious).

Level 67

Jan 6, 2020

I thought of "red sad". As in the color coral.

Level 65

Sep 1, 2016

I kept trying "disquiet riot" for "loud crowd" until I saw the 1 syllable rule

Level 46

Sep 1, 2016

Accents make this quiz really hard, I missed "dance pants" because these words don't rhyme at all in a New Zealand accent.

Level 48

Mar 23, 2019

I know some kiwis and the way they say it still sounds like it rhymes to me.

Level 74

Mar 26, 2019

I thought every vowel was pronounced with a short "i" sound in NZ :-)

Level 95

Sep 3, 2016

sleek leek?

Level 71

Dec 15, 2016

#1. Mole Hole?

Level 84

Mar 24, 2019

That was my first guess.

Level 71

Jan 9, 2017

I think the Quizmaster puts out quizzes like this to generate lots of comments. Pronunciation must be the most differing factor among English speaking Jetpunkers. My Quizzes must be too self-explanatory for I never generate as many comments.

Level 34

Jun 9, 2017

Nor do I. It's tempting to create a controversial quiz just to get some feedback!

Level 66

Oct 27, 2017

Before Bad Lad came to me, I tried Rude Dude even though that's not an exact fit.

Level 76

Feb 3, 2018

Man, some people get really upset that different accents exist.

Level 37

Could not cone stone be used for "conifer quarry"?

shear beer also works for pale ale

Level 76

Mar 23, 2019

In what accent do dance and pants rhyme???

Level 59

Mar 23, 2019

I'm from western Canada. They're not a perfect rhyme but very, very close.

Level 76

Mar 24, 2019

I grew up in New Jersey (Northeastern US), and for me they rhyme perfectly.

Level 84

Mar 24, 2019

Everywhere in North America.

Level 74

Mar 26, 2019

North UK too

Level 79

Mar 28, 2019

also in Australia

Level 81

Mar 25, 2019

I kept putting bog smog.

Level 76

Mar 25, 2019

Poor and Door rhyme? Hmmm...

Also, I'm dissappointed that "funk trunks" wasn't an option for the disco jeans one.

Level 75

Mar 25, 2019

It took me a while to get the last one because of I was thinking of quarry as prey instead of a pit. Fir fur was the closest I could come until I thought of pine, and then just started typing every word I could that rhymed with it. I was surprised when mine worked, and then I had the face smack moment.

Level 43

Mar 26, 2019

#1 Mole Hole or Vole Hole. I think both are acceptable.

Level 74

Mar 26, 2019

Isn't Clear Beer two syllables (each)? (as could Poor Door, but only in Northern parts of the UK)

Level 79

Mar 28, 2019

No.

Level 85

Oct 31, 2021

Though I figured out the answer, my first thought for "thin legume" was "wee pea".

I don’t think dance rhymes with pants…

Like lance and rants?

Level 66

May 25, 2023

I don't think Quizmaster has used a dictionary for this. It's pointless trying for this quiz because there's no way that anyone could get "Dance" and "pants" to rhyme unless they're speaking with a non-standard accent.

/dɑːns/

pænts

Totally different.

Level 76

Apr 1, 2024

Ooh, the arrogance of believing in 'standard' accents. I am from Southern England, and my accent is about as RP as it gets, but I often say 'dants', especially when singing - 'dahnce' sounds preposterous in a song. Check out 'Transmission' for Joy Division, and try to 'dahnce' along to that.
