It basically means going with the flow
The noun-clause 'rhyme and reason' is typically used to mean 'sense,' 'meaning,' or 'insight.' It often appears in contemporary English in this form: 'There's no rhyme or reason to that claim.'
There are no words in that phrase that rhyme with each other, if that is what you mean. They may rhyme with something else, such as another phrase.
The phrase 'rhyme nor reason' comes from Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors, published in 1590, and the lines are spoken by Dromio of Syracuse:Was there ever any man thus beaten out of season,When in the why and the wherefore is neither rhyme nor reason?Shakespeare later used the same phrase in As You Like It,published in 1600, this time spoken by Orlando:Rosalind: But are you so much in love as your rhymes speak?Orlando: Neither rhyme nor reason can express so much.
makes no sense
knows no reason or rhyme
The phrase "Rhyme and Reason" refers to order and logic. In the story "Alice in Wonderland," the characters of Rhyme and Reason were banished because the King of Wisdom believed that they were causing too much disagreement and discord among the people. He feared that their influence would disrupt the kingdom's stability.
The meaning of the idiomatic expression, without rhyme and reason, means that someone is said or done without a purpose. Meaning that there is logical explanation for or understandable reason for the way something is done.
No reason means no way to explain things. No rhyme means, nothing rhymes. Bahaha, I am reading The Phantom Tollbooth, too. (:
