lol... purple and orange are famous for having no perfect rhyme in English. Try silver.

Back to "orange": I have found two new interesting things:

Although it has two syllables, orange is arguably the most famous unrhymable word, though there exists a rare Sussex surname "Gorringe"[9] and a mountain in Wales named "Blorenge"

Just a little rhyme along the 'orange' theme:


The unseemly bear

Was seen to wear

A foreign shirt

Of orange earth

Hmm, never knew that there was a surname called "Gorringe" and a mountain called "Blorenge". That's an added bonus of Funtrivia- you learn new things! Now, is there anything else?

You could call a grape Slurpee a Purple Slurple.

OK, so I made it up. You could, though.

hahaha I don't think that there are words that rhyme with purple or orange..Aren't they just some of these words that have no rhyme to them?
