Needless words in song lyrics added solely to create a rhyme.
From the Robyn Hitchcock lyric in "Brenda's Iron Sledge."
"Please don't call me Reg / It's not my name."
Hitchcock's lines, though, do not contain a "Reg."
First, because he's obviously aware of the apparent absurdity. Second, because "Reg" is arguably short for "Regina" -- i.e., the Queen. The song's about the decline of Britain.
Примеры использования:
A famous Reg occurs in Sam Cooke's song "Wonderful World."
"Don't know much about a science book / Don't know much about the French I took."
"I took" is a Reg. The meaning is perfectly clear without it, and it's there only to provide a rhyme for "book."
