Can you think of a noun that rhymes with 'six' that isn't a plural?

Question

don't ask why. I've been trying to find one all day

Answer 1

Short answer - if you ignore accent (and rhyming generally CANNOT), Chelsea's list is much too short! There are perhaps 600 more words that would qualify.

But, if you demand accent on the same syllable, you are let with three words -- fix, mix, nix -- and a handful of proper names.

DETAILS

Your question actually rules out more words than some think:

- all words ending in "-icks" -- since the ones that are nouns are plurals, and the rest are not nouns! (singular verb forms like "(he) picks")


- MOST "-ix" words - if you need a REAL rhyme, most of the words in Chelsea's list will not quite work, because the ACCENT is in the wrong place. "six" is an accented syllable, but most of the nouns ending with "ix" have the accent on the PRECEDING syllable.

For example, the "-ix" suffix in "aviatrix, mediatrix" is NOT accented... (the accent is on "AT" in these words)

And most of the words with the proper accent are not nouns! (affix, bemix)

Check them all out in this complete list of 66 words that end with these letters:

(In actual poetry you MAY, depending on the context, be able to get away with using some word in which the accents don't correspond. But these are not "perfect" rhymes.)


There is another type of word ending with this sound -- the "-ics" nouns to refer to a type of activity, area of study, etc. Alas, once again the ACCENT issue gets in the way, for it is (for example), athLETics, PHYSics and bioMETrix, not athleTICS, phySICS, biomeTRICS.

(There are HUNDREDS of words of this sort, so if you find it OK to go this way, check out the following list, which includes some plurals, but many of the word type I just described

_________________________

That leaves us with only a few undeniable nouns that work and about whose accent there is no issue:

fix
mix
nix

(Note that this is NOT "nix" in the sense of to "nix" something, which is a verb form, sometimes turned into an adverb. The noun "nix" refers to a "water sprite".)

You COULD add proper names ending with -ix (though this is seldom useful when you are actually trying to come up with usable rhymes!)
Fort DIX, (the river) Styx
Trix and Kix - the breakfast cereals

Answer 2

Mix. Informal for Mixture as in a witches Mix or a cocktail Mix or a DJs Mix

or you could try assonance if this is for literary purposes

...Fixture Elixure Fissure

Answer 3

Can't beat Chelsea79's answer. All her rhymes meet your non-plural requirement.

Answer 4

How about, "Whites, blacks and latinos are part of the mix?
I messed up and now I'm in a fix.
There are also lots of words that end in "icks" that rhyme.

Answer 5

people keep saying fix and mix. those were the first that came to my mind too, but thats not a noun. thats a verb!

Answer 6

Trix
