Front Hook: K
K provides a classic front hook example. Anyone who has played competitive Scrabble for any amount of time has likely marveled at it. It's not the most interesting front hooking by any means. No change in rhythym, rhyme, or part of speech; but both words are rather interesting unto themselves, so that counts for something.
K is for Kalewife
ALEWIFE has two definitions: 1. a female tavernkeeper or, 2. a type of fish. Either way, add a K to the front and KALEWIFE refers to a female seller of vegetables.
Honorable mentions for K:
- Ketamine
- Keying
- Kinky
- Kneed
- Knightly
- Kvetch
