Rhyme
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 (@) .
