Word Games – Inky Pinky

Welcome to the wonderful world of word wizardry. I thought I’d introduce one of my favorite word games, Inky Pinky.

An “ink pink” is a set of one-syllable words that rhyme, like “fat cat.”
An “inky pinky” is a set of two-syllable words that rhyme, like “copper topper.”
And “inkity pinkity” is for three-syllables, like “pollution solution.”

So, here’s how the game works: Give a clue, and say wether the answer is an “ink pink” “inky pinky” or “inkity pinkity.”

Example: What’s an inky pinky for a shishkabobbed waiter?
Answer: Skewered steward.

Another example: What’s an ink pink for trouble with one’s bride?
Answer: Wife strife.

And another: What’s an inkity pinkity for lying under oath about an operation?
Answer: Surgery perjury.

Now, you try! Think up your own inky pinky and put it in the comments, or try and solve another commenter’s.
