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'?

You forgot wear (which paul1 beat you to two too (which Mimor beat me to)) 😛

Were matches with whirr. Weigher rhymes with layer.
