Rumor has it there are no real words that rhyme with "orange". Prove me wrong, my people.

There are no words in the english language that rhyme with orange.
Prove yourself wrong.

There are none.

Same goes for astrologically

i didn't think proper nouns counted...i'm sure somebody has a name that rhymes with "orange," too.

i am hearby making 2 new words.

1. dorange (dor-anj) - a person who is mentally slow; slow witted
2. nitutple (nite-er-ple) - a mystery or unexplained event

what about door hinge?

More binge

besides, you used two words, which means you're asking for a phrase...

i am hearby making 2 new words.

1. dorange (dor-anj) - a person who is mentally slow; slow witted
2. nitutple (nite-er-ple) - a mystery or unexplained event there is no such thing as those words!!! at least i think so...

I hoped someone would say that :lol:

Lozenge?

You know what I hate. Is people that say that orange and porridge rhyme. It makes me wanna flip.

who says porridge to begin with. i dont care what you call it its still either oatmeal or grits.

Suppose it depends on your accent.

Lozenge?

Thats what I was going to say. Thats the closest as far as I know.

RhymeZone (http://www.rhymezone.com/) thinks there aren't. Shall we trust it? <_<

Apparently there are no rhymes for "silver," either.

Apparently there are no rhymes for "silver," either.Might want to check pilfer/pilpher (sp?). You know, it means to steal.

cant rhyme silver, but you can make sliver out of it.

Can we use proper nouns? In Wales, there's a mountain called Blorange (http://www.bunkhouse-brecon-beacons-wales.co.uk/info-bunkhouse-activities-onedge-01.htm), also spelt Blorenge (http://www.sewhgpgc.co.uk/blorenge7.html).

Same goes for astrologically any word that ends in cally rhymes with that.... metaphorically... as long as the last syllable is stressed

Did Eric Harris say that?

in some places the accents do cause them to rhyme, but with the proper prounciation in the dictionary, they dont.

Well, sound wise no there arn't. But my English teach taught us that a rhym is technically only the last three letters are the same. So Orange-------->Range

porriage?

nothing rhymes with month either.

*whistles* :lol:

Nothing rhymes with "silver" either.

Jim

Why is it heaps of colours dpnt rhyme, just coincidence or conspiracy :wink:

I heard nothing rhymes with month too.

Same goes for astrologically

What about catostrophically?

Another non-rhyming colour, "purple" purple, silver and orange, three colours that should never be put togetther on a single super hero costume.

Does Costume rhyme with anything, actually I have a rhyming dictionary somewhere I will go check

what about syringe?

hey doji

what about syringe?

hey doji

I don't think that counts. It clearly has an "in" sound in the most important syllable, wheras "orange" has an "an" sound.

Hey Andrew.

So our official list of words that don't rhyme (as of this moment), are:

Orange
Purple
Astrologically
Silver
Month

From here on, no "-ically", etc. words. We need to contain our field of research, and I think the best way would be to use words that don't have an ending tacked on. Thus, from now on, we use the base word with no suffixes.

well then the root word "Astrologic" clearly rhymes with catastrophic.

Psychologically

"My breakfast juice can get no oranger,
As I eat eat oatmeal from my porringer."

That's the closest I can get.

Hehehe, anyone ever read a comic called "The Demon" or "Etrigan the Demon"? There's a demon in the comic that talks in rhymes and he too was complaining about the lack of rhymes for orange... *chuckle*

what about door hinge?

Ooh! That was a good one!

no words rhyme with sabbath, coconut, asteroid, sexual, windshield.

that is all i can think of now.

I'll let all of those slide except windshield, as I decree it a compound word.

There is nothing that rhymes with "orange", "silver", "purple" or "month"

"nothing rhymes with orange... or this... or this... or blablabla"

i was talking to lithuaniblablabla.

nope. nothing rhymes with "purple," either.

There are twon. I saw it on a game show some time ago. IIRC one was "to hurple", which meant to crawl along the ground at slow speed, or something.

Blamange? :?

No rhyme for silver. No rhyme for orange. No rhyme for purple. No words rhyme with family, either. That I know of.
Remind me to make up new words that rhyme.

what about door hinge?

Ooh! That was a good one!

Door hinge is two different words, foo!

Shouldn't you remove that post or something? I'm no genius, but copy and paste doesn't take so much effort.

it still rhymes though.

stonehenge?

In the Flaming Lips song "she don't use Jelly", they rhyme orange with store with limited success in my opinion :?

no words rhyme with sabbath, coconut, asteroid, sexual, windshield.

that is all i can think of now.

Let's see: Path, Wrath. Choc ful'o nut. Hemorrhoid. Textual (with my Pittsburghian accent). Shield (my rhyming dictionary matches 'physic' and 'metaphysic', hence, this is a match.)

Take your stinkin' paws off me, you damned double-post!

Let's see: Path, Wrath.The second "a" in "sabbath" does not sound like the first.

I'm gonna let that Sabbath/Wrath/Path scheme pass. We have far too many words that are un-rhymable. Being more lenient might rebuild my confidence in the English language.

I eat, therefore i live. :idea:

There's a bloke from a band called Immortal whose name is Abbath. That's a pretty good match for Sabbath...

Anyway, this is a trick question. What rhymes with orange? Another orange. Simple as that. :roll:

I swear to god that syringe rhymes with orange... depends on the accent i guess.

soringe is better :?

it doesnt really rhyme, but its the closest you can get i think.

First, we aren't playing with proper nouns. I'm sure someone's messed up aunt's second's cousin (twice removed)'s son's dog's groomer's hairdresser's lizard's vetrinarian's best friend is named "Morange" or something.

Also, it's not "what rhymes with 'orange'?", it's "what word rhymes with 'orange'?" A word can't rhyme with itself, because it is itself.

And YOU! For the last time, the last syllable in "syringe" has a hard stress on "INge", whereas "orange" has a strong stress on "RANge". Just stop, or I will find you tomorrow and unceremoniously beat you to death with the eskimo's umbrella!

Orange is more than one different word though.

To be fair, you didn't even put more than one word there. You put a single word with multiple definitions. If they were homonyms, I would let this pass, but it's just one word. For instance, "red" and "read, or "two", "to", and "too" are all different words, but "orange" and "orange" are the same word with different meanings.
