Golf and gulf are pronouced differently, Golf has an English descent, wheras gulf, as it sounds is of British descent.
Since "of" is a short word and is not a vowel it cannot rhyme with any other word, example: whereas go is able to ryhme with mow because it is a vowel and is able to be a sentence on it's it own.
pizza is an Italian word therefore there is no rhyming English word.
of and dove......transfer and cancer
nothing rhymes with confidence
Dentist doesn't rhyme with anything.

Kitchen chicken
First thing you have to remember when talking about rhyming is that there are SEVERAL different types of rhyme - 2 to be more exact, which are subdivided into more specific categories! English is not even my mother-tongue, so for those of you, for whom it is...should be a tad ashamed!
circle rhymes with purple
Eighth rhymes with faith hahah
Do you know what else doesn't rhyme?
NINJA!!
Let's see if anyone can rhyme with that word.
Obnoxious rhymes with anxious.
and pisa rhymes with pizza
Golf rhymes with ahlf and ralf
Different rhymes with deferment and ignorant
but nothing rhymes with indigo.
Doesn't faith rhyme with eigth?
Reptile = futile, west nile, pile, trial, denial,
A lot of those words mentioned have a lot of words that rhyme with them. Twelth rhymes with health
And Orange? You've obviously never heard eminem rhyme oranges with hinges and syringes.
you probably heard that "orange and silver" don't have any rhyming words. Tsk, tsk. The people who wrote that "fact" were not in the least bit poetical.
A lot of people will tell you that 'rain' doesn't rhyme with 'same'. That is the equivalent of saying that 2x2 cannot equal 4 because 2+2 already does. Or that there's no way out of the house except the door. Of course you can go out a window if you really want.
If you can make the words rhyme by the way you pronounce them in a song, then yes, those two words DO rhyme. It's more about the sound you make, than how the words are spelt.
Using two words that sound the same but have different meanings and are spelt differently doesn't really work either, because rhyming is more about the sound YOU make and the rythm, and less about having a different word.
So rhyming 'gate' and 'gait' isn't REALLY a rhyme.
It's open for creative interpretation, that's the good part about it, but those 2 main things I mentioned are things that people don't realise, which leads to their rhymes sounding really off.
Remember the really important thing here is putting yourself into it, and people getting your message. Don't compromise those things for anything.
Hope I've helped :P
Citrus-Mistress
Just because you people are lazy and mispronounce words or refuse to enunciate them doesn't make two words rhyme. For example, if you actually pronounce the f in the word twelfth, which is not in any way silent, it will not rhyme with health, and you can't inquire about my healfth. Same with citrus-mistress, and a variety of other examples.
I agree with DijitalDJ. Just like how people thing "orange" rhyme with "door hinge," sorry to burst your bubble, but orange isn't pronounced like orenge.
Wolf - Gulf?
Month rhymes whit hunt?

This entire thread is overly US-centric. The US "CNN accent" is not the only way people on this planet speak. Why is the definition of 'rhyme' always limited to the accent only half of Americans and no Europeans have?
A way you can demonstrate the rhyming problem is by comparing language dictionaries from the US with their UK counterparts. For example, the o in the swedish drink Glögg is said to be like the 'oo' in the US 'look', and the 'er' in the UK 'berg' Nobody in the US would think the vowel sounds in 'look' and 'berg' are anything alike. In England, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa they sound remarkably similar.
So in this sense, 'bachelor' and 'spatula' can rhyme... ask a cockney!

Most of these words are truly not rhymable in contemporary
English. However, using the unabridged Oxford Enlish Dictionary, orange, silver, and purple are the only words without perfect rhymes.
Okay here we go, a rhyme based on the words you offer.
I eat ALMONDS wearing nothing but DIAMONDS, I'm ANGRY hungry, and GANGLY.
My first reaction's usually ANGST, so THANKS for making me ANXIOUS, no, actually, I think I'll keep it THANKLESS, and instead just take an ASPIRIN to control these levels of GASTRIN, cos pain relief and a good night's sleep in my bed is all I'm ASKING.
So what if I'm a BACHELOR it's not because my arms and legs and fingers are TENTACULAR,
I could go on here, - but won't. :)
