Root Word Alliteration

The poetic style which repeats a slightly modified root word to emphasize that root word while creating a rhyme.

Examples of "root word alliteration" are, "love—that unexplainably still unexplained phenomenon which in this era of perfection still makes the world go round—appears to take on a life of its own to grow and is irrefutably known to quickly deactivate reason in order to satisfy one or both lover's needs." And "It's better to be safe than sorry," said a tax-collector to a tax-evader who worked as a stocks and bond trader and wrestled against alligators."

Alliope

The standard response to "Cheers!"

Pronounced as: "Al-ee-ohpe"

First usage emerged in Western United States and has now been observed being used in New York and Toronto. The usage has no real meaning from an etymology standpoint. However, due to its usage as a response to cheers it could be akin to "have a nice day" or "catch you later." The benefit of the word is it is very flexible in actual meaning while still conveying the levity of cheers without the perceived awkwardness of parroting back the same phrase.

You: "Here's your order."
Person: "Cheers!"
You: "Alright my brother, alliope"
