1 tough: In this context, to be "tough" is to be mentally or physically strong (often with the capability of being violent). Example: He plays a TOUGH guy in the new movie. In the song, Susie is asking men if they are strong (or masculine) enough to wear TigerLily, which is a perfume intended for women. Note, in a different context, "tough" can mean "difficult". Example: That was a TOUGH exam.
2 enough: "Enough" is a synonym of "sufficient", "as much as necessary" and "adequate". Example: He's good ENOUGH at football to play for the national team. In the song, Susie is asking men if they are sufficiently "tough" to wear a feminine fragrance. Note: as demonstrated in the song, "enough" rhymes with "tough" and "stuff"!
3 wear: To wear something is to have something on your body, usually as a piece of clothing, but it can also apply to perfumes and fragrances. Example: I only WEAR perfume on days that I don't shower.
4 stuff: The term "stuff" can be used to refer to a substance when you do not know the name, when the name is not important or when it is obvious what you are talking about. Example: I'm sorry, but I think there's some brown STUFF on your shoes. In the song, Susie describes TigerLily as "girly stuff" because it is obvious that she is talking about TigerLily. If something is "girly", it is associated with females.
5 Put: "To put something" on (a part of your body) means to wear or "place" something on (a part of your body). Example: My girlfriend sometimes PUTS a bag ON my head because I am very ugly. In the song, Susie tells men to put it (=TigerLily) on their skin.
6 skin: "Skin" is the layer of tissue that covers and protects the body. Example: Every night I use moisturizing cream to make my SKIN soft.
7 smell: If you smell of (cigarettes), your body gives off an odor of (cigarettes). Example: I know you've been drinking - you SMELL of whisky!
8 unbelievably: The term "unbelievably" means "incredibly", "impossibly", or "improbably"; it is informally used to emphasize how good (or bad) something is. Example: The food at the restaurant was UNBELIEVABLY good (=very good). In the song, Susie claims that TigerLily will make men smell unbelievably (or incredibly) powerful!
9 Powerful: To be "powerful" is to have great strength or force; "Powerful" people (like politicians) are able to control or influence people and events. In the song, Susie claims that TigerLily will make men smell powerful!

Which of the following words DOES NOT rhyme* with rough? --> through 2

*to rhyme means to sound the same. For example, "cat" rhymes with "fat"!
1 approximately: This is correct. If (the price) is roughly 500,000 dollars, then (the price) is approximately 500,000 dollars. The term "roughly" can be used in a variety of situations. For example: He hates you - that's roughly what he said, anyway. Note: The literal meaning of "roughly" describes a brusque or violent action, (one which isn't gentle).
1 unfortunately: This is incorrect. The term "unfortunately" is not a synonym of "roughly". The word "unfortunately" means that something is unlucky or regrettable. For example: Unfortunately, I left all my money on the train.
1 in difficulty: This is incorrect. The term "in difficulty" is not a synonym of "roughly". To be in difficulty means to have problems. For example: The business is in difficulty because we lost a contract to our main competitor.
1 exactly: This is incorrect. The term "exactly" is not a synonym of "roughly". In fact, these terms have opposite meanings. "Exactly" means "precisely". For example: I am exactly 2 meters tall (and I am, too!).
2 through: This the best choice. "Through" rhymes with "you", "too" and "two". It does not rhyme with "rough" (or "tough" or "stuff").
2 tough: This is not the best choice. "tough" rhymes with "rough" (and "stuff").
2 stuff: This is not the best choice. "stuff" rhymes with "rough" (and "tough").

2 staff: The "staff (of a company)" describes the personnel or employees within it. Example: Please don't hesitate to ask the staff for anything. Note that "staff" can take either a singular or plural verb. Generally in American English, it takes a singular verb (the staff is very helpful), while in British English, a plural verb is generally used (the staff are very unhappy).
