lashing = trashing, crab = lab, grain = gain, planting = ?
card (borrowing the "ing" from "gaining"). I guess that doesn't rhyme at all in an American accent. It's a partial rhyme in many British accents.
I still don't get it. How does "plant" become "card"?
It rhymes. Vaguely.
In home counties British,
plant is pronounced
p-lar-nt. Which is similar to
card.
It's not like there's a rule that you only have to change one letter.
Vague soundalike was good enough for me. In my defence I was extremely tired at the time and I find things very funny for no reason when I'm tired.
I laughed uncontrollably for a good 5 minutes at the
gaining a lad one.
