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 [1] 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.

Pararhyme:

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.
