I'm going to make a new English rule to end the loneliness of orange and silver.

Silver rhymes with orange.

It's not nice to fool the manager of this site.

Somehow, I'm reminded of those old "If you think it's butter, but it's not -- it's Chiffon" commercials: "

There are a lot of words that kinda rhyme with orange...

change

range

strange

arrange (now that's a real close one)...

but yeah, "what" does not rhyme with orange in any conceivable way I can think of. Not sure why some thought it did... :-)

Those don't rhyme with orange. I don't even think arrange can be considered a half-rhyme of orange as the stress is on the wrong syllable.

I understand that certain English accents find that "orange" and "door hinge" rhyme. Accents are great things.

- Well, my wife's off to the West Indies.

- Jamaica?

- No, she went of her own accord.

The operative word in my claims was the very clinical "kinda." By that standard, even derange works. :P

PC forgive me but I feel you might be a bit deranged if you think it rhymes with it. :P

After all these years you THINK...I MIGHT be A BIT deranged? Get some confidence, ma'am! Just call it! :D

Do you know that this issue was settled a very long time ago by HR Pufnstuff and his friends?

(Egads! the things our memories retain....)

That's why YOURS is the greatest generation...whatever it is you're referring to...:cool:

How about orange and porridge?

Or carnage?

No and no.

-ridge nor -nage does not in any way sound the same as -range. It's missing that "n" sound.
