Is there any word in the english language which ryhmes with "Orange"?

Answer 1

In my dialect of English, 'orange' rhymes with 'lozenge'.

Basically, the statement that 'orange' rhymes with nothing is ridiculous because it is ultimately based not on the sound of the word (which varies from dialect to dialect within a certain range of front mid to high unrounded vowels), but on its spelling. "Rhyme" is, by definition, based on sound. So any categorical statement that "X has no rhyming words" is fallacious unless every dialect of English has been surveyed to see whether or not the statement is true for that dialect.

Answer 2

This question garnered 25 answers prior to my own, yet not one respondent answered using both correct spelling AND anything close to proper grammar. Most, of course, didn't try for either. Yes, language is mutable (meaning it changes over time), but that doesn't mean "anything goes," simply because a given person doesn't know better & is too lazy to learn. Still, at least those folks generally admit what they're up to, and acknowledge that they simply don't care whether or not their usage is correct. It's truly amusing reading the other kind: those haughty (that means "stuck up") individuals who self-righteously castigate (that means "put down") others about spelling errors, yet are themselves apparently either unwilling or unable to express a full, coherent thought; let alone compose so much as one complete sentence. Congratulations, y'all*, you've managed to demonstrate a level of ignorance+arrogance so profound that even the "It got corrupted into two words" dummy seems intelligent by comparison. In closing, here are some tips that'll prove helpful should you ever need/want to write like a grown-up: 1) Capitalize the 1st word of each sentence, and end it with some sort of punctuation, such as a period or question mark. 2) The word "its" means something belongs to "it." If you're trying to say "it is," you need to add an apostrophe and write "it's." 3) A complete sentence (and, for that matter, a complete thought) has a subject and a predicate. There has to be a noun AND a verb, at least, or you're just listing words. For example, consider, "Two separate words." The 1st word is capitalized, and it ends with a period, but there's no verb, so it's not a sentence. It doesn't really make sense without a verb, does it? Now read, "It amazes me how many people don't use spell check." It has nouns; verbs acting on or by them; a subject & predicate; capitalization and punctuation, therefore that is a complete sentence. It's really fairly simple Hope that helps. To learn more about writing sentences, do a Google search for "complete sentence." You don't even need to visit your local library or finish 1st grade! *: The word "y'all" _has_ been accepted into the English language, but not simply because enough dummies used it enough times that "They" (i.e., the mysterious cabal whom many of you seem to think hand down decisions about what becomes a "real" word) just gave up and let it in. "Y'all," like many former slang/vernacular words that became official, fulfills a need. English previously lacked a 3rd-person plural, which is present in most other languages. The contraction of "you all" may not be especially elegant, original, nor considered classy, yet because it fills a gap in the language AND enjoyed prolonged common usage, it has joined our ever-expanding, ever-changing lexicon. Notice how that makes logical sense. That's the difference between proper use of a growing language and just making things up because you don't know better.

Nothing rhymes with Orange, Silver, Purple and Month. I discovered this on the back of a Penguin biscuit. They have great facts!! All the more reason to eat more chocolate!!

Also, the word dreamt is the only word in the English Language that ends in "mt".

And the word "sky" is the only word in the English Language with no vowels in it. I came across these courtesy of Penguin chocolate biscuits too!!

:o)

Answer 4

From the time when I lived in South Oxfordshire, I remember two small villages called 'East Inge' and 'West Inge'.

If you're writing poetry, you could use the word 'porringer' (a sort of small soup bowl) and carry the '-er' over to the next line, as Tom Lehrer would have done.

Answer 5

None that rhyme correctly. Orange and silver are the two words in the dictionary that don't have perfect rhyme.

A word like "lozenge" is the nearest you'll get to rhyme with "orange", and that would make for a difficult poem :)

Answer 6

I am sure that all the clever people who say it does not rhyme with anything know what they are talking about. However, having been brought up overseas, my knee jerk reaction was "range/ arrange/ derange/ grange/ strange" and I would be interested to know why they do not qualify in English .They would in French.

Answer 7

Coca Cola, Savonarola, bears from the polar (Region).
