Rhymes with eight

[disdanny]

I first posted this on the CB, then I thought, who better than the games players to come up with the answer.

So....

Please help us finish a silly HW assignment. On a whole list of clues with all answers rhyming with eight, there is one we can't come up with.

"To cut something short, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ate."

Many thanks to whoever comes up with an answer.
