发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Only “faggot” (/ˈfæɡət/) rhymes with “maggot”. “Bigot” ends in the same letters but uses /ɪ/: /ˈbɪɡət/. “Carrot” and “parrot” share the final /ət/ and the /æ/ vowel but have an /r/ where “maggot” has a /ɡ/, so they don't rhyme. “Magnet” only shares the first syllable /ˈmæɡ/. “Gadget” looks similar at the end but is pronounced /ˈɡædʒɪt/, not /ɡət/.
