| I’ve just received information that this might be a weird one, so let's start. Okay, this is… Weekly Words. Oh, sorry! Hi, welcome back to Weekly Words. I’m Alisha, and I have already look at the first slide for this week, and I'm very sorry. The title of this week's Weekly Words is words that don't rhyme with anything. |
| The first word is “film.” “Film,” in an old-fashioned camera, for example, or another word for a movie. In a sentence, “Did you see that film last week? I heard that it was really good. It was nominated for Academy Awards.” “Film.” Let’s go. |
| The next word is “month.” “Month.” Months are the months of the year: January, February, March, April, “Month.” Really? “What's your favorite month?” My favorite month is October because I like Halloween, and it’s autumn in the northern hemisphere. |
| “Oblige.” “Oblige” means to “make someone have to do something.” “I was obliged to attend the seminar on behalf of my company.” “Oblige.” Mary J Blige. If you’re watching, Mary J. Blige, hi. Maybe she needs tips for her next song, which words she shouldn't use. I trust you guys. |
| “Cusp” is the next word all cusp “Cusp” refers to being “right on the edge of something,” like you're just about to make a change between two states, so let's see, in a business setting you might say, “Oh, we're on the cusp of a major breakthrough with this new project.” It doesn't rhyme with anything. “Cusp.” |
| “Chaos” is the next word. “Chaos” just means there's “no order.” There's nothing that's holding everything together in some arrangement at all. It’s just confusion. It's madness. It's crazy. In a sentence, let’s see, “My office was in chaos this morning because the power went out. We had no way to contact our |
| clients.” “Chaos.” |
| End! That's the end. Those are all words that don't rhyme with anything. I really tried my best. There are a lot of words that don't rhyme with anything, so if you're writing a poem, or if you’re writing music, please don't use these at the end of your lines, I don’t know, unless you want to. Okay. Thanks for joining us this week. We'll see you again next time for more Weekly Words. Bye. |
