Hello, i'm a newbie here, just thought i'd post a question up here, that has stumped me for years. I had a History teacher is High school, that once asked me, if i knew what rhymed with "Orange." At the time i had no clue, i knew lots of rhyming words, but not this one. I askes him to make sure this wasn't a lame joke. He then said, "Yes, there is one word in the english language that rhymes with orange." To this day i had no clue what the heck it was or what he was trying to ask me, i had no clue, and neither did anyone else in the class i was in. Thing is, someone also told me it's an old riddle, then i started thinking, but still no help. I was hoping to get an answer, but i've asked dozens of people and they don't know! Can someone help please?


P.S.= I also got friends in chat rooms asking around if anyone knows a rhyme for "Purple" also...LOL

What are you thinking now?..How do you know what's good or bad? ....food for thought
