Striker - I just do not understand new maths - when I went to school a few decades ago it was the three R's.

2+2 =4 Now you have to prove it - I cannot teach my 6 y/o grandchild maths.

In my day, you learned your times table and if you didn't know them, you held your hand out.

Times have changed.

Stock and Stalk.

This is not a homophone for non American English speakers. But your mentioning it shows that the title of the show 'Silk Stalkings' wasn't quite as bad as I thought.

Same as dot, dart, tot, tart, etc don't rhyme.

Does 'thought', for you, rhyme with 'fart'?
