You should not take the word literally. If A(nn) calls B(ob) "rifmoplet",
she is saying that he is a bad poet, not that he can weave the rhymes. Take
the famous game of "burime" (bouts-rimés), you have to be good a weaving
rhymes, and some performers do as a form of entertainment. Yet, they are
not called "rifmoplety".
