Pronunciation & Spelling
Genuine rhymes in British English: honour and goner share the stressed vowel and final /nə/ sound with dishonour. Lookalikes to be careful with: colour, favour and rumour all end in -our but have different vowel sounds; honor (US spelling of honour) is pronounced /ˈɑnər/ with an r-coloured final syllable, so none of these are rhymes.
