No.

[hospitamal]

not unless you pronounce it "clawk"

[am_bivalently]

well not exactly, but you could still rap it and be okay

[runepidemic]

yeah i'm talking about them rhyming while speaking, not singing or rapping. you could push it and have them rhyme in a song.

[embersofsummer]

yes.

[runepidemic]

hahhaha how?!

[embersofsummer]

...in maine? they just do. like i've tried saying them six different ways and they just do.

walk stalk clock squawk mock walk dock rock walk. they all sound the same up here. haha er, up heeyuh. yessuh.

i really wish we all had paid accounts so we could record ourselves saying it. i speak perfect english with no accent (except for the occasional new york accent that sneaks into words like "call" and "mall" if i'm around other people with accents) and they totally don't rhyme. seriously. you know the merriam webster dictionary? that dude was from hartford, which is about 40 minutes from me. that's not the best example because most people from hartford speak ebonics, but it proves that connecticut ownzzzz with language and grammar. hahaha.

Yes. Nate says yes too. I don't see how it doesn't? Do we say clock differently or something?

[embersofsummer]

Yeah, I love Dane Cook. It is one of his jokes, if you haven't heard of him.

I am from Florida.
