that was heaps good, i got 3 of em, but the other 2 wer hard
Me likie!
aw this one was so cute! this is the first time im writing a comment for a teaser. i got all ov em
keep it up!!!
keep it up!!!
Only got 3 out of 5
Yeah, I only got 3 of them also. Numbers 1, 3, and 5. The other two, I had no clue!
Got 'em all, got em alllll !!!yeeeeaaaaayyyyy!
I had to go a la thesaurus for no. 2, the rest I got fairly fast, the PERFECT level of difficulty!!!
I think that brook crook would also work for no.2, like the crook of your arm, the crook of your neck, I suppose its not used much but it means an indentation, curve, that kind of thing (but I didn't look it up, I've just heard it used, more when I was a child in the country).
Thanks muchly, that was great, could have been much longer in my opin, Thanks!

Great teaser peppamntp!!! Not too easy, not too hard.
I got 'em all except #5.... but I think I came up with a valid alternative.... How about "steel seal" for metal drain plug?

I couldn't rhyme or reason out 2, but the rest rolled off the tongue nicely. Well done.
Good one, PP. Shawneo, you're absolutely right, there are crooks in brooks. I saw several of them in Deliverance. J/k, it is in the dictionary, though, so it has to count.
Great as usual peppamintp. Enjoyed it immensely. Had trouble with #2 but otherwise it just brought out the poet in me. Ha Ha! KEEP 'EM COMING!
I really liked this one, got em all!!
Way to go Peppa...you've got me smiling! I'm waiting for Rhyme Time 3.
Clever! I enjoyed this one! Keep sending 'em in
Good one
That was fun. I like this kind. I got them all, but had to think .I'd like more of these.
Good thinking, choptliva. I think "steel seal" works, too.
Fun teaser!
Fun teaser!
I didn't get them all. It was fun to try though--thanks
I had "steel seal" for the last one. I also thought of "waterway bay" for #2, but guessed that brook nook was more likely.
That was good; for #4 though I got "too two" ... maybe a stretch
Good job. love these rhyme times!
Good One!!
this was stupid
GOOD ONE "PEPPER....."
I enjoyed this one :-)
Got all except for the 5th, and the 3rd I guessed 'wave cave'.
Got all except for the 5th, and the 3rd I guessed 'wave cave'.
i got #3
good 1
I didn't get that copper stopper, but this was a fun teaser!
Thanks!
Thanks!
Like scallio I didn't get the last one, but had fun trying. Thanks for the fun teaser.
I see we're using 5th grade rythmes.
i see doehead is using 1st grade spelling.
good 1 shann!
Submitter, enjoyed this immensely. I don't care if it's easy; it was great fun! Had to take an extra beat for brook nook and copper stopper, but otherwise immediate answers--good wake-up!!
Thanks a bunch!

How about river quiver for number #2?
Does it bother anyone besides me that the intro to these teasers always says "Language brain teaser are" when it should be "teasers are"? I just think that a web site about careful thought and use of language ought to match plural subjects with plural verbs in its instructions. But I haven't had my coffee yet this a.m., so maybe I'm just grumpy.
This was so cute!
Love these, keep them coming!
Love these, keep them coming!
Fun and easy - great for Friday morning. Thanks.
Great one! Got all but #5, but I lobby for "steel seal" which I put too
#1 For Moby Dick fan letter I also came up with "whaler haler"
And for #4 Extra couple I propose "Two Too"
And for #4 Extra couple I propose "Two Too"
Cute - that was fun
Didn't care for this one at all. Too obscure.
ANOTHER RERUN!
SINCE IT SAYS I ALREADY RATED THIS TEASER AND I DON'T SEE ANY OF MY COMMENTS, I ASSUME MY COMMENTS WERE CONSIDERED OFFENSIVE OR I DIDN'T THINK THE TEASER DESERVED A COMMENT.
I DID HOWEVER ENJOY THE COMMENT ABOUT 5th GRADE RHYMES.

booooorriingg.
Fun fun fun!!! And not a rerun for me by the way. Since we all have our strengths and weaknesses, I enjoy seeing a variety of ability levels presented. Keep up the good work!
I liked it!!
And I got 'em all except #2, but I'm glad I'm not alone! Good alternative answer, those of you who got "steel seal", but I really liked "copper stopper" too (because that's the one I got! Heehee!)

@Doehead and Lmurray
Don't put yourself up as too intelligent for these teasers. All you are showing is your arrogance. No one likes a Smart Alec.

No funny monkey face, you are the smart alec.
Didn't get copper stopper...but it was fun!
Nice Required some thinking but not too hard.
Too hard for me.
That one made me chuckle! I liked this one a lot. I only got 3 but had fun trying the rest.
Good one!
Good one!
Fun one !
Happy Birthday Babe! Hope you have a wonderful day!
What can I say? Wornout and overused!!!
I enjoyed it-took a minute for deductive reasoning to wake up enough for stream cove, but tickled when I got it!
And I thought "rivlet inlet" was rather obvious for number 2.
Enjoyed it enough but was for some reason unable to come up with BrookNook
Today Feb 17th is my birthday and I am now 93 years old and doing pretty good on this site. I am having fun, living well, active and glad to be here. Did this teaser 3 years ago and again tonight and still liked it very much.
a bit too easy
For # four I came up with "TOO TWO" too.
Happy Birthday Babe! You are doing great! You have a quick mind and a good sense of humor. I hope you have a wonderful day!
Tomorrow is the 17th again and I am having another birthday tomorrow It has been awhile since my last comment, but I am now 96. Wow, how did I get this far?
for "stream cove" i would also suggest: rivulet inlet.
a rivulet is a type of stream, namely a small stream . And a cove and an inlet are synonymous, I believe.
Good teaser!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABE. You are by far the best person on Briangle. Enjoy the day and I hope you have many more.

Got brook nook 6 years ago, but not this morning Ah well, I still enjoyed it!
Fun and entertaining teaser; I got four out of five - I also could not get brook and nook.
Got 'em all, but contend that "nook" for "cove" is kinda pushing the semantic envelope.
Patfansdc, "rivulet" and "inlet" are not considered rhymes in any Rhyming Dictionary I have consulted. Indeed, the word "rivulet", like the words "orange" and "purple" has no perfect rhymes in English.
