Can anyone come up with a word that rhymes with "Pint"?

Dan
 
I don't think there is a perfect rhyme -- a word ending in "long-i,n,t".

An imperfect rhyme could be something like "kind" or "paint".

If you're talking really posh with a proper clipped british upper-class accent, "around" pronounced "arint" with the same long i, rhymes.

If "defint" was a word (the VB command), how would it be pronounced? I like de-FINE(t).

"eint" is embedded in ninety... but it doesn't end the word.

amorous,

The word is pint, as in "pint-sized," or "half-pint." It is generally pronounced with a long I sound.
 

Absolutely - the "pi" in "pint" is pronounced "pie" as in "pork pie" or "steak and kidney pie" ;o)

*drool*

The only word I ever heard was "grint", but that word was a made-up word, and meant the greasy grime that you find on top of tins, cooker tops, etc (and comes in two varieties - domestic grint and industrial grint :eek:)
