Obviously im looking for a word that rhymes with orange. I may be overlooking the obvious answer but i cant think of one.

and it needs to be in the english language. :)

Any suggestions welcome....

The only thing that comes close is door hinge which is 2 words. But you can have other types of rhymes like near rhymes.

supposedly 4 words with no english rhyme:

Orange, silver, purple, and month. I dunno.

Personally, I'm still hung up on earl and URL.

#1 thread has some "scientifical" explanation :) (with almsot 180 replies!)

apparently it is true, no words rhyme with orange.

In slovenia language you cant find a rhyme for "container" (this is english version of slovenian word so probalby there isa rhyme for it in English)

There is a fine Scottish malt whiskey called Glenmorangie :) But maybe brand names don't count!

And if you will be so kind as to allow me to show off my language trivia skills...

The sentence

'Satan oscillate my metallic sonatas'

reads the same backwards as forwards.

There are other palindromes out there but they make less sense and don't sound as good. Impress friends, family and colleagues with that!

We had a thread on this very same subject quite some time ago. The closest rhyme to Orange I am aware of is Lozenge.

"To get your daily dose of Orange,
Why not take it in a Lozenge."
