Answer 2

It's the same one that rhymes with silver and purple,

For an opposing viewpoint

Orange is often noted as one of the most common words in English that does not rhyme with any other word. Although perhaps not well-known, there are two words that ryhme with it. Blorenge is one, and it is a mountain range and town in Wales. The second is Gorringe, which is a surname.

For those who don't believe it rhymes, the closest approximation is door-hinge, although torn hinge, or inch, a wrench, and flange have also been suggested.

Some made-up words have rhymed with orange:

grorange — a blend of green and the color orange (found in a Mario Brothers novel)
korange — a hypothetical hybrid of the orange and the kumquat
borange — "rubbish", "of poor quality" (a coinage of comedian Ross Noble on the Triple J Ross & Terri show).
atgrynge — the plural of "atgry" , an alternative name for the commercial at symbol (@) .

Tom Lehrer once rhymed "orange" in the verse:

Eating an orange
While making love
Makes for bizarre enj-
oyment thereof.

This is an example of extreme enjambment and the New York-New Jersey accent's way of pronouncing orange as "ar-ange." Similar was Willard Espy's poem, "The Unrhymable Word: Orange":

The four eng-
ineers
Wore orange
brassieres.
The name of US Naval Commander H. H. Gorringe, the captain of the USS Gettysburg who discovered Gorringe Ridge in 1875, also somewhat rhymes with orange, which led Arthur Guiterman to quip in "Local Note":

In Sparkill buried lies that man of mark
Who brought the Obelisk to Central Park,
Redoubtable Commander H.H. Gorringe,
Whose name supplies the long-sought rhyme for "orange."

Answer 3

""Blorenge is one, and it is a mountain range and town in Wales. The second is Gorringe, which is a surname."


"Orange is one of those words that famously has nothing perfectly to rhyme with it. The other one is silver. However, the Oxford Rhyming Dictionary does show both these words as having half-rhymes (such as lozenge with orange and salver with silver).

The principle of a half-rhyme in these cases is quite simple. Whereas a full and stressed rhyme (e.g. hand / stand) or even an unstressed rhyme (such as handing / standing) contain vowels that are common to both words, a half-rhyme like orange / lozenge or silver / salver (technically speaking, pararhymes) has obvious differences between vowels in certain syllables."
