We all know about how nothing rhymes with orange (except for door-hinge, but that's a stretch...) so what are some other words that don't rhyme with anything?

Rhyming has diiferent standards now.
'Orange' is said to have no words that rhyme with it.
But we now accept , One- and two-syllable End Rhymes of Orange:
challenge, expunge, lozenge, lunge, plunge, scavenge, sponge, door-hinge.
Here is a funny parody to emphasize the fact:
'There is no rhyme for 'ORANGE'
But what about 'LOZENGE'?'
Rhyming is clearly a Contentiotious item / issue.
The English Language has words that do not rhyme with any other word. (kind of Linguistic Primes)
Here is a short list of such words according to my information:
1. PURPLE
2. Pint
3.Nothing
4. Silver
5. Month
