What Rhymes with Fifty-Nine?
Let's play a rhyming game. What rhymes with fifty-nine? Well, for one thing, the word "rhyme." But I started thinking this morning, for some reason: What words rhyme with fifty, and what words rhyme with nine. There's a short list for "fifty" that I came up with: Nifty (that sounds like a word from the '50s), Shifty (I've never thought of myself as shifty), and Thrifty (my husband has probably never thought of me as 'thrifty," even though I do try sometimes). The first three words that came to mind for "nine" were: Wine (I don't know why, since I really don't drink much wine), whine (well, I can whine sometimes), and shine (probably because the sun was out - finally). So then I thought to myself, well, instead of thinking, "Oh, no, I'm going to be 59 this year," I can say, "Oh, yes, I'm going to be Nifty-Shine." Okay, so my husband just looked at me a little strange when I just said that, but I like it . . . I'm going to be Nifty-Shine.
