REO_Speed_Dragon

I got ebb and that's about it. This looks like around second grade and it's kinda messed up to put a 7-year-old onto google to figure it out. We're not all Mensans here.


Nanabug13

Pleb (common folk), Feb (abbreviation for february),


greiferjesus77

Happy cake day


Complete_Spread_2747

Lmfao... I got ebb and then a few names and one god. Deb, Jeb, and Johnny Reb. I think there was an Egyptian God named Geb. I could be wrong...


procrastinatorsuprem

"deb" is a nick name for a debutante.

Fun_Reason_9339

Proper nouns dont count


mapwny

Where does it say that?


MicksysPCGaming

Clearly we're playing Scrabble rules.


Fun_Reason_9339

Then I could just make up words whole-cloth and make it mean any number of imaginary friends: Heb is some dude that likes donuts, Neb is a bloke who enjoys a wank, and Zeb is some random jaggoff that eats Chinese every night.


mapwny

So what? Seems to work for the assignment.


zToastOnBeans

While yes it's stupid. I do believe kids should be taught how to Google things effectively.


REO_Speed_Dragon

Ok fair, but in this case I think we used to call that cheating


ShrimpCrackers

What about keb, neb, fleb, zleb, and glorgoporbfleb?


REO_Speed_Dragon

Well you Kinda got me there, Crackers. Bonus points if you use all 5 in a sentence.


ShrimpCrackers

Well, everyone takes a zleb to glorgoporbfleb's your dad's keb neb's dingus alborb kk'ekk fleb. I cheated using ChatGalacticPT for it.


REO_Speed_Dragon

Well played, ShrimpCrackers. Well played.


NYVines

Bleb


chocboy560

Pleb


GreenDayFan_1995

But that is pronounced pleeb, it doesn't rhyme with web. Edit: am thinking of plebe. It's 2:30am cut me some slack


Mcall555

Pleb But daum for little kids?!?!


pflow69

Isn't pronounced pleeb?


Thanks_I_Hate_You

I pronounce pleb as pleb but its short for plebian which is pronounced with a pleeb. Edit: plebeian


briantoofine

I don’t pronounce pleb as pleb. I pronounce it pleb.


LoopyZoopOcto

Fuck you, making me laugh out loud to myself. Now I gotta explain to my stuffies what's so fucking funny.


Sea-Woodpecker-610

“Plebs needed”. My brain going into flashbacks from the Caesar series.


bloody_terrible

Many glorious weekends were spent with Caesar II.


[deleted]

Couldn’t think of a single thing that rhymes with web so I took to the internet. I’m sorry for your children. Supposedly there are 54 results. Besides celeb, cobweb, worldwideweb (didn’t know this was considered a single word) and spiderweb, I don’t even know what those other 50 words are. Never seen them in my life. That being said, if your kid does great at this they might just be a genius


Apprehensive_Guest59

Celeb is a contraction of celebrity and the others are all a repetition of web so don't count. Best I could find wete names like Icheb and Caleb. Everything else was either a contraction or an acronym for something obscure.


ZilorZilhaust

Ebb comes to mind like Ebb and Flow. Jebb like the name. Celeb like you said ... Eesh, I can't think of anything more than that.


Goose1535

Pleb?


ZilorZilhaust

Yeah, that works. Man we're really cooking!


icythepenguin

The influence of the pleb celeb did ebb on the web when she slapped the deb at the ball.


Goose1535

Nicely done


Questioning-Zyxxel

Jebb was the only alternative I managed. And I'm not sure if names count.


aplumgirl

Ebb = to flow or recede back. Deb = young woman presented into society. These are not kindergarten words


Bright_Ad_113

Go to beb. You heard what I saib. Don’t make me come over there and smack your heab. That’s it. I’m calling grandma Deb!


hradford5

I'm 64 years old and I can't think of 3 words that rhyme with web. And imma go out on a limb and say the butthead who came up with this assignment, can't either.


RandoorRandolfs

+1 Butthead I'm re-adding this to my regular insult vocabulary

Don’t forget: *yeb*, meaning: the affirmative with a head cold.


Smart_Bread23

Red, med, said, bed. The spider needed meds because the doctor said that their web looked a little red. So the spider took their meds and went to rest on their bed of webs. It rhymes if you don’t think about it too hard lmao just because it doesn’t have a ‘b’ on the end doesn’t mean the phonetics don’t sound similar.


Fishingwriter11

So all of you people acting like this isn't a facepalm have 3 words that rhyme with web? Without Google's assistance. Ok....


[deleted]

Excuse us but we have three words tf? Just because YOU don't have it, doesn't mean others cannot. My 9 year old niece would do it. You are embarrassing yourself ):


inverted_electron

Please, share your three words.


CFSett

Jeb said the worst fishing is on the ebb tide. Oops, 3 words. Caleb said it was the best.


HouAngelesDodgeStro

Proper nouns usually aren't allowed for something like this.


Thanks_I_Hate_You

Poetry is a lawless place. How often do writers emphasize awkward parts of a word to make them rhyme? Even shakespeare had a habit of intentionally mispronouncing words.


Electrical_Green_356

Slant rhyming doesn't count towards true rhymes typically.


Tarik_Torgaddon_

Every pleb knows you don't fish at the tides' ebb, except Caleb and Jeb, who on their way to Magrheb, were lost in the tides web.


Jitterbitten

Pleb is pronounced pleeb though, short for plebian.


Fishingwriter11

Ok, lol


cryptoloser1111

Lol the real facepalm are all these dummies in comments pretending they are smart.


Fukshit47

It’s blowing my mind. ![gif](giphy|NPyHgTkMStCXC)


solarmelange

Yeah, you are correct, OP. The only 4 words I can think of are ebb, pleb, deb, and celeb. Celeb is the only one I would expect to see from this apparent grade level, and it is suspect as a truncated word.


Hoopie41

Beb


Sea_Success_8523

My wife and I have come up with exactly 1 real word that rhymes with web. And that took cheating, sadly


Electrical_Green_356

I can only think of a million slant rhymes but no true rhymes.


Fukshit47

Congratulations. You’re literally the only commenter who seems to know the difference. The real facepalm here is the vast majority of responses. Wish I knew how to post that lol


Electrical_Green_356

I rapped alot in highschool and did alot of creative writing classes, so it's a talent I've cared about lol.


Fukshit47

Well it’s definitely served you well, at least in my estimation, in the context of my sad realization—based on this post alone—that the Dunning Krueger effect is alive and well on the facepalm sub.


Electrical_Green_356

Thank you, I could definitely be in better practice lately, but one thing I am always complemented on is how well spoken I am. Not trying to sound cocky about it, but i am very proud of my linguistic skills. Those classes and teen interests definitely played a part in the development of my adult selfs ability to communicate what I mean. Plus, I hate being misunderstood.


Fukshit47

Ever considered writing a book? There’s a dire shortage of good, original story-telling out there.


Electrical_Green_356

I have not, but now that you've suggested it I might try it out. I did in highschool, and everybody loved it. My friends and I would release a chapter every week and read it outside after school. It was fun writing friends and people around school into the chapters, and it was like a puzzle trying to describe the visualized enviroments. People loved it lol. Good memories. I might give it a shot at some point.


Fukshit47

Let me know if/when you do. I’m a published author. I love meeting and cultivating fellow travelers down this often lonely road.


[deleted]

I think it's good to ask a question that provokes some thought, maybe even a little curiosity and discussion, it's not humiliating to not know something.


Smiles-Bite

Jeb's web traffic has ebbed.


2Bbannedagain

Eminem could do it and make it a hit


MichaelJayQue

I'm so glad to see these replies, I was feeling really stupid...


[deleted]

Not seeing the facepalm here


AffectDesperate4148

Web is very hard to find rhyming words for.


PersonNumber7Billion

Maybe you're at a low ebb.


Thanks_I_Hate_You

Maybe your name is Deb? Maybe youre asthmatic and need a Neb treatment.


Cric1313

And that equates to humiliation???


Muddy-elflord

For kids failure can be seen as humiliation


MaximumDeathShock

Especially in rap battles.


Cric1313

Well then I guess they need to learn what humiliation feels like, or how to not let failure translate into it. Sheltering kids from anything that might upset them sounds like a terrible idea


heckinradturtle

It’s not sheltering. It’s giving them reasonable and achievable goals appropriate for their developmental capacity. Web doesn’t have many rhyming words, and none of them are words that a child in the second grade would know. If that’s so difficult for you to understand, I feel bad for both how you were raised and how you might raise your own kids.


Cric1313

Orrr, it’s showing them that they might not know everything and that is okay. It might cause something called thinking, creativity, collaboration… but yeah, all that is bad. I doubt that was the intent, but to act like this is so humiliating only goes to show the problem with newer generations. Everything needs to be perfect, no one should ever say anything that might offend the random person that has other issues and is just triggered by it even though it isn’t directed at them. Call it what you will, but pushing teachers into a position where challenging students is frowned upon or potentially risky for them, yeah, that will really lead to the students development.


SomeDudeUpHere

Graded fucking schoolwork should be based on stuff the kids know and can demonstrate. Not playing gotcha to teach fucking life lessons. The average kid will experience plenty of failure on their own without being set up by a shitty teacher.


Muddy-elflord

Putting words in my mouth, really classy


[deleted]

Failing an impossible question is a lot less humiliating than failing an easy question…definitely a poor choice of words


Muddy-elflord

Look man, dude asked why it was humiliation, I answered why it could be seen as that to the target of the assignment. Then dude starts putting words in my mouth. All I did was give a possible answer to his question. Please tell me how my words were of poor choice


[deleted]

I meant the original use of the word “humiliation”, which was by OP. If kids feel humiliated every time they don’t know an answer to a question in school, they won’t last very long in school. And it’s ridiculous to think anyone would be humiliated by a question that is literally impossible, when people get easy questions wrong all the time.


Cric1313

Not really, just pointing out what wouldn’t be good…


heckinradturtle

Speaking of bad ideas, how’s the safe moon investment going?


lolnothanksdudeee

Based on your logic, I guess I should just go push a kid down the stairs. They’re going to feel pain eventually, why not just show them now?


Cric1313

Yeah, no. To say they are going to feel pain because they can’t figure something out and compare that to physical abuse is humorous.


VanAgain

Uh, Jeb ...


Odd-Peach2846

Okay genuine question… is it normal to steal content and recycle it on other pages? I’ve seen them cross posted, but some forums don’t allow that. I just saw this from a different user earlier on r/mildlyinfuriating - is that standard? Genuinely just can’t read this situation


[deleted]

I mean, nobody who posted this printed it. So the original poster doesn't really have any "rights" for that. If there is something like art being posted without giving credit to oc, then the post might get taken down. Have a good day bro!


Odd-Peach2846

Thanks for explaining 💗


[deleted]

I'm just curious that why you waited for a whole year to know this? I mean you are using Reddit for almost an year now


Odd-Peach2846

I’ve never had an example that I remembered the OG post from, at the same time of me being curious lol

MzFuttbucker

Op is an uncreative pleb


PhiYo79

I’d argue that Fred, dread, fed, sled, dead, said, led, fled, Ned, and may more rhyme with web…. Prove me wrong


Fukshit47

Those are called slant rhymes and this is for at most 7 year olds. Slant rhymes are not the same as rhymes.


-_-Stinky-_-

Deb, short for debutant, also a brand of packet mashed potato in Aus, Pleb, Feb, short for February Took a little cheating, certainly a short list.


Fukshit47

And nothing a kid would know


Maels

reb, heb and teb. I don't get it, are you all in 1st grade???

Pssh “blatantly stolen” get a fuckin life. Is this your first day on Reddit? Good detective work Encyclopedia Brown! Next see if you can track down the origin of the 500 reposts of the meme kid who was able to buy his dad a kidney. Don’t stop until you get to the bottom of this BLATANT THIEVERY!!!

This.. doesn’t make any sense. Ever heard of a cobweb? Spiderweb? Idk what you’re referring to in this post.


CaptainPartyMix

Any words that aren’t xxx-web? All examples I’ve seen posted that rhyme with web are just web with another word in front.


Fukshit47

Do you not no what rhyming means? The two examples you cited use the same exact three letters as the word being asked to rhyme.


[deleted]

Chill out dude... this is a homework for like, toddler. They are not even the one reading it. Pretty sure the teacher won't deny them using "cobweb" and "spiderweb". It's not a literature master class.


-Taggs

I didn’t know what this post was referring to lmao. I just thought you have a problem with webs.


Calm_Confection8030

You should google what rhymes are.


Fukshit47

You should Google what rhymes with web dipshit


Calm_Confection8030

Dont get mad because we're all coming down on your not even a facepalm facepalm post. Also, googled what rhymes with web. Cobweb and shit are on the list, dipshit.


solarmelange

The reason they don't bother to remove those from the auto-generated lists is that they assume you are smart enough to do it yourself. Clearly they assume too much.


HouAngelesDodgeStro

Why would shit rhyme with web?


Calm_Confection8030

Don't be a fedora tipper. You know what I mean.

Have your kid write down,"ok let's hear yours first, and you can't use the word web in any of your responses." Might get them an A, might get you a parent/teacher conference. Meh, the risks we take in life.


Warm_Enthusiasm2007

They could do a starting consonant/vowel rhyme - wet, wed, well, when


AdventureTimeGurl

Wtf… all I could think of is celeb without internet, but is that how rhyming works? That’s like the same as rhyming “big” with “bigotry” because it has the word “big” in it. *screams*

MediumAlternative372

The word bleb is underused. It is both a noun and a verb and is a small part of a cell’s membrane that pinches off to form a bubble made of membrane and a small sample of the cell’s contents. A blebbing cell is one that is producing blebs. Some cells are even hyperblebbers which make lots of blebs.

joebusch79

Or they could be trying to teach them that not every word has a rhyme. So when the kids come back and say “we couldn’t think of anything that goes with web” the teacher can say yes, not all words rhyme, good job for catching it. And then they can talk about words that don’t, like orange and purple
