the fear of rhyming unintentionally.
Imagine a social situation. I remark upon something, and it happens to rhyme – the contents of whatever I said is treated as trivial and very much ignored: all my fellows hear is that I rhymed, at which point they laugh and point this fact out. And what I said is never brought up again, because when everybody laughs, there's an excellent opportunity for people to change the subject. So what I said was rendered worthless!
From Greek Ομοιοκαταληξία - (the) rhyme, and -φοβία.

I said "there's not enough money for women, when it comes to swimmin'" and everybody laughed. Now I'll be full of oimoiokatalichiphobia next time I say something about the national female swimmers' team.

Get the Oisinverse theory mug.An Oishi is a dreamer. They have wonderful smiles with the bestest dimples and are warm friends. Oishis are food and art connoisseurs and love to appreciate the simple things in life. Are insecure and have hearts that are a little fragile only because they are full of so much love to give. Oishis are witty and wild and can be found cursing computer science engineering projects at wee hours of the night.

Get the Oisin mug.Oisin: street gangster. Great solid fighter has lots of fights and dosnt lose unless hes completely off his face. He will never back down. Highly respected by all even those who hav beef with him*. Plays a wide variety of sports and is especially keen on football and boxing, has a quite muscular body. He is clever, though rarely bothers with studies. The kind of guy youd want as a mate, beside you in a fight, as a lover in the bed. Superior to god and even chuck norris. He drinks and does coke, weed and other drugs , internal organs are half destroyed, its a wonder he can get up in the morning. Devious master when it comes to planning mischief, may well be a gang leader one day. Is good looking and can have any girl he wants and can be secretive when it comes to women. Has an extremely large and impressive cock that he uses alot. Lives different lifes and fits in anywhere.
*Oi blud , dont beef with him hes a proper Oisin.
Girl1: so whats your new boyfriend like?
Girl2: ohh hes such an Oisin, its great.

Get the Oisin mug.Oisin is the type of person who is strong but doesnt show, smart but doesnt know it and could pick up chicks but mainly picks them because of their personality than looks. Oisin is a good guy that is always down to do some good for others, however, if you ever disrespect an Oisin, he would ignore you or he could get violent if pushed over the edge
