looking for real words...
2007-12-14 15:25:54 · update #1
It is a common misconception that the words orange, purple, and silver are the only English words which rhyme with no other words.
((((((((((((((((((real words)))))))))))))))))))
For purple, curple (another name for the buttocks; in Scots, the word for the hindquarters of a horse), hurple (meaning to walk lamely or to hobble).

Back in the dim distant past a popular song quoted 'sweeter than maple surple' as a rhyme, no! it's not a word but it made good sense and fun
In a poem I once read (cant recall the title) a very clever person turned a noun into an adjective by describing a hill formation as very 'Annaburpal' (it was a play on the word Annapurnal)

I think you may have picked one of the few that do not have a rhyming partner. Like orange.
