4 size and sighs? It doesn't really mean annoyance though

[scorpiojo]

5 caught/court

To me caught rhymes with bought whereas court rhymes with sport. But maybe they are close enough. I'm sure it's the answer though.

[aelmpvw]

but what have bought and sport got to do with the question?

[factor-fiction]

If ou see my earlier post i was querying whether court rhymes with caught

[aelmpvw]

it does here in the east midlands :-)

[scorpiojo]

..and in Yorkshire LOL

[factor-fiction]

So does sport rhyme with bought in Midlands/Yorkshire?

[aelmpvw]

yes but i think a true homonym has to share the first letter

[aelmpvw]

.. apart from my suggestion for number 6

[factor-fiction]

Yes they do, but they should also rhyme, I thought.
Anyway, I'm off to work now- I just hope anyone there from East Midlands/Yorkshire can understand my accent!
