It's hard to rhyme a word like vagina.
Calvin Kline? Kind of.
North Carolina?

Eminem actually used that, along with "four-inch."

The rhyme was

Grabbed some sharp objects, brooms, and foreign tools
'This is for every time you took my orange juice...'"

Obviously he's a little liberal with the rhymes -- especially with "foreign tools" -- but I was still impressed. It's pretty creative.

I don't think those rhyme.

oligarchy and monarchy rhyme with anarchy
ancillary and bacillary rhyme with capillary
scapegoat kinda rhymes with zygote

I guess those would be partial rhymes.... Monarchy<>Anarchy would be closest to rhyming of those you list. There are actually lots of words that don't rhyme or don't rhyme well.

Wow...seems like a lot of people were just passed through preschool here. Probably for their basketball skills.

Huh?

Do you guys not know what a rhyme is?

Nurple would rhyme with purple, but it's not a word. Turtle doesn't rhyme with purple, since it doesn't contain "urple" or anything that sounds like it.
