Ed Ranks Tetrasyllabic Pairs of English Rhyming Words

No picture makes sense for this ranking. So instead, I'll just
randomly have a picture of the Season 1 cast of Dark Angel.

Closed pairs are words that only rhyme with each other. Tetrasyllabic words are words with four syllables.  These are 11 pairs of English words with four syllables that rhyme with each other.

11. Grandiloquent / Magniloquent - I think these are fake words.  These are the types of words that I expect to hear from the asshole sitting across from me in the LAX business lounge while he's loud,  on the phone, name-dropping the C-List celebrities he knows, and making pseudo-philosophical remarks about how everything "is just a human construct."

10. Deifying / Reifying - Nobody uses "reifying."  I even get the little red "this is not a word" squiggle under it.

9. Culminated / Fulminated - Will probably never be used as rhymes in a hip hop song any time soon. Even if the song is about someone being angry about how something turned out.

8. Generated / Venerated - Wow... both "diefying" and "venerated" have matching tetrasyllabic pairs? And their pairs are also sort of synonyms too. Kind of. A little bit.

7. Delegated / Relegated - More like SMELLegated, am I right people?

6. Dedicated / Medicated - Given the current opiod crisis, it seems many are dedicated to being medicated.

5. Lacerated / Macerated - Both of which are sort of what we do to animals to turn them into food.

4. Beautifully / Dutifully - These are good words, right? Sure. Why not. Let's call this #4.

3. Lecherously / Treacherously - Both great adverbs to describe the actions of awesome villains in Shakespearean plays.

2. Germinated / Terminated - Sort of at opposite ends of the spectrum, right? Like birth and death.

1. Copulated / Populated - This one is obviously the best because you can see how one easily leads to the other. It's also about sex, people. SEX!!!
