The speaking of rhymes. Zecora has never spoken without rhyme, but... what happens when she can't rhyme?

Hilarious fic. Who knew Zecora's one weakness was an inability to form a coherent rhyme?
Your own name doesn’t even rhyme with anything.
I need to find a really good dictionary ''where's Sweetie Belle?''
Somone! Give this filly a cutie mark!
She shoulda used 'door hinge'...
Goodness, that was brilliant. Well done on your rhymes.
Waht a twist
Anyway, this was great to read, and I'm still laughing in the end. A few grammar errors are presnt, but not enough to set a reader off. Good job.
Not sure what to do with "orange" or "silver" though... ![]()
Still an absolutely hilarious read!
>>738842 To solve the issue. Fedora is a half-rhyme and as far as I have seen, fedora's don't exist in the canon mlp world yet.
>>736728 Flora is just a fairly unknown word that is not normally used at the end of a sentence. And really, who the hay says flora anymore?
>>738842 And I'm not an imbicile, I know what a fedora is. I kind of own and wear one.
And alas, all arguement is over.
That was hilarious!
Fun fact: 'dreamt' is the only English word that enda in 'mt'. I think.
Gorange rhymes with orange. On QI they mentioned it, it means to binge on something. Blorange is apparently a place in Wales.
Or you could just use the word Door Hinge.
There you go Apple Bloom, there's a few.
Great Story Sorren. Thanks to Bronymaster for recommending it![]()
Outstanding story! Conjures up terrible memories of when I was first learning to program though.....
Zecora outta charachter?
http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&global=1&q=shocked+face#/d4c2qzp explains my reaction well ![]()
This makes so much sense that it could be used as an actual episode. A very great read.

Actually, there's a village in wales named "Bloringthe", which is pronounced "Bl-orange". And yes, it used to be named something else, but they decided to be clever.
Pretty sure that she's comfortable with near-rhymes as well, particularly ones as near as "Pilfer" (only reason its not a full rhyme for Silver is that you don't voice the labiodental fricative in the former), or Carpal (Vowular shift in first syllable, but they are related vowels, and both have the r shift)
However, one should never let the truth get in the way of a good story. Good work! :zecoracrazy:
>>738882 It's... Actually more rare NOT to know the word Flora, as Far as I know. It's even a Name in Real life, and It would suprise me if it weren;t one in equestria. In all, Not an uncommon word, Though it may just depend on where you live, I suppose. Now, For a VERY uncommon word that could help a Zebra out, Try Chilver. It's definition is a Ewe-lamb. Buggered If I can find one for Orange though. Purple has a good one though, Vis Curple. It's the strap underneath the girth of a saddle to stop the Saddle Kicking foward. A word more likely to be in common(ish) use in Equestria than here IRL. If no-one else in Ponyville knew it, Rarity probably would.
*Looks at cover image* And that's how Equestria was introduced to Sweet Stripes gum. Only, the flavor lasted in this type.
>>740189 Well, Chilver is Obscure and Curple would most likely not be a word that Applebloom or Zecora would Know, Applebloom not being all that into fashion, From what I can tell and Zecora being a Foreign Hermit pretty much Gaurantees She Wouldn't Know any Fashion Terms. You're still boned on the Flora Front though :P
Can we please just enjoy a good story? First of all, Zecora may not even know those words. Second of all, if she DID know them, she may have forgotten in her panic over not rhyming. That's getting really technical in my opinion, anyway. How would you even introduce those words and it make sense? No, let's just let the issue drop. Please. For the sake of enjoying a story.
Maybe, but it gets less 'fun' when every other comment is a quip about rhyming. It was hard enough for Sorren to come up with rhymes as it was. Much less trying to search all of the English language for words that don't rhyme besides orange. Everybody knows orange.
I'm rambling.
Short answer: it's annoying that everybody comments just to point it out. Fun for a few comments, annoying for all the rest.
Maybe I'm just too easily annoyed. Idk. I'm a crazy person, what do I know?

So yeah, have some words.
Swerver? Ver, silVER, swerVER. Yes I made that word up. It means someone who swerves a lot.
Orange. Depends on how you say it. If you say or-An-j. No can help. If you say Or-in-j, than rhyme with hinge.
Purple. I think it rhymes with people. Pur-pull, pea-pull.
Yea I'm trying to break English.
I have not read it, but I'm calling that she needs to either rhyme with orange or silver. Yeah, you heard me.
Silver also has no english word that rhymes with it. You just learned something new.
Blorenge is a hill in Whales, which rhymes with orange
Chilver is a female lamb, which rhymes with silver
Curple is the hindquarters of a horse, which rhymes with purple
Binge? Delver? Deliver? Flora? Fedora? Cringe? Badge (close as I've found for or-AN-j)?
Hora? Tinge? *looks at previous comments* DOOR HINGE!!!
Notarhymeophobia is Zecora.
Yes I made that word up on the spot.
