rhymes with orange




i've been thinking lately about words that rhyme with "orange." many people say that none exist, but i beg to differ. here is a list of words that either rhyme somewhat well or very well with said citrus fruit:

-Blorange (a city in Wales)
-door hinge
-porridge
-sporange (a variant use of the word "sporangium," a botanical term, however, sporange is most commonly pronounced spor-AINGE, but)
-one inch
-...that's all i've got

  1. I love the picture - so vintage.
    Now write a post about naturally blue foods - apparently there aren't any.

  2. i have been inspired by your post and since reading it, I have tried to come up with a rhyme for "silver". This is what I've got:
    Pilfer
    Kill for
    swill fur

    that's about it. Also, i thought up a great punch-line for a joke that I haven't thought up yet. It would have to include me and mom in a greenhouse. It would be... Chris and the Mum. (Like chrysanthemum) HA! awesome.
