Indigo and turquoise yes, but everyone knows that purple rhymes with light urple.

And Maple Syrple!

@ivan astikov

Sorry Autolycus, but I’m going to call your bluff and ask for a literary cite there!!

Here you go: Urban Dictionary: urple

I agree it’s a legitimate cite, but this bit troubles me…

a mix of pink and purple in the worst popular way; a color that hurts to look at.
you can’t really give an example of a color that doesn’t exist in nature…

Shall we share the points?

Or ‘orange.’

Oranges poranges, who says,
Oranges poranges, who says,
Oranges poranges, who says?
There ain’t no rhyme for oranges!

Welcome, Ivan! We can always use more sycophants around here. Especially rhyming ones.

Hi Musicat. You must be one of the less influential members! No rhymes for you then.

Astroboy14, you’re thinking of a poem Steve Martin used in Roxanne and maybe one or two other places. The original is “pointy birds,” though.

Thank you!

You know, I’ve just come accross this dire badger. What say we put it to work?

Good heavens no!, last time we had a badger in a welcome party it was… unfortunate.
Which reminds me that I haven´t sent that letter of sympathy yet.

Yeah, he’s just a '99er. We just pat them on the knee and ignore their drooling. Poor old farts.
