Syllable Sliding

A term coined by west coast Hip-Hop artist Anilyst. His song Triple Threat, which recieved over 7 million hits on youtube, is the first song to demonstrate "Syllable Sliding"…he describes it as "a form of rap that is more elaborate than the average way of rhyming….it’s the ability to rhyme each and every syllable in a bar with the other syllables in the next bar while still having it make sense and be clear, and while projecting subliminal messages and endless metaphors. This is Syllable Sliding.” He even rightfully named his first album "Syllable Sliding Vol. 1".

Yeah, you're a pretty good rapper, but let's see how good you are at syllable sliding.

single-syllable reply

Constantly replying with "yea. No. Sure. K. Nice. Kden" and other such meaningless and mostly non existing words. It is a great way to get even your friends to hate you

Pers 2: Cool.
Pers 1: Can you please stop the single-syllable reply?!
Pers 2: Sure.

Words of one syllable or less

Phrase used when advising somebody of facts /an issue /and explanation (etc) using the most simplest of words in order that they may understand.

Often associated with 'full and frank conversation' the phrase 'words of one syllable or less' is actually gramatically incorrect in its use of 'or less' (essentially 'or less' makes no sense whereas 'or fewer' would be correct) but nicely conveys the situation.

Believed to have originated with the staff of Britain's railways in Southern England.

"What do you mean Bert has done it wrong again?

I'd better go and explain how to do it in words of one syllable or less"

That's one too many syllables, bub

Something you say to someone when they add more than 17 syllables in a haiku.

Person A:

"That's right I'm Sokka,
It's pronounced with an 'okka'
Young ladies, I rock ya!"
*counts syllables on fingers nervously*

Person B:
That's one too many syllables, bub
*yeets Person A out the window*
