Matt,

Thank you for making it clearer, but ''conceptual rhyme'' is not a phrase that's going to flow from my lips any time soon, I fear. I did Google it with quotation marks, but I still got only "RhymeZone'' telling me which words rhymed with ''conceptual''.

Plus this:
"Common multi-word phrases that nearly rhyme with conceptual:
3 syllables:
crest jewel,
egg noodle,
blair ruble,
french poodle,
celle qu'il,
judge sewall,
telle qu'elle,
telle qu'il,
fresh juice,
press juice"

Are they taking the p*ss, or what??? Fresh juice nearly rhymes with conceptual? Really?? Can you imagine anyone offering that up in The Deep End as a near rhyme?

I thought Walter was also taking the p*ss at first, and John definitely was (at least I hope you were, John!).

I 'get' the founded/established, seas/waters similarity - of course I do - but to me, ''ring'' and ''sun'' don't rhyme at all. Yes, they have a circular connotation, but I think Mark first brought up the objection that you can't call that rhyme.

No, I'm sorry, but I can't get my head around this conceptual rhyme thing; maybe I'm altogether too literal. I'd just prefer to call it something else.
