Words w/no rhyme

Is there a rhyme for “month”? Besides the infamous “orange” what other common words have no rime?

Silver

The Semantic Rhyming Dictionary says nothing does. Your trophy should arrive any day.

Of course, they also say nothing rhymes with “Orange” and off the top of my head I can think of three: Hinge, Syringe, and of course Orange.

To find a rhyme for ‘silver’
or any rhymeless rhyme
Requires a lot of will, ver-
Bosity, and time.

Thenk yew.

All I wanna do is to thank you, even though I don’t know who you are…

huh? orange rhymes with syringe and hinge? not when I say them - “ange” sounds different from “inge” - or is that just me?


and the stars o’erhead were dancing heel to toe

I’ve heard that “purple” is another one of those rhyme-less words.

I imagine there’s a host of science/technical terms that are stand-alones. I mean, what rhymes with deoxyribonucleic acid, or for that matter riboflavin, or ASA? Language is growing and evolving at a rapid pace, with new technologies and globalization creating an array of hybrid words. Poetry, I’m afraid, will never be the same.

Month rhymes with ‘(n+1)th’. But it’s not very poetic is it?

Word Oddities & Trivia is good for these kind of questions and has a section on rhyming words etc and gives several examples of words which rhyme with orange.

Okay, here’s my best shot:

Yethderday, I kithed her one’th
Chust as I did the previouth month
It would theem she had no beef
With thomeone without front teef.

[ul][li]Every word has it’s rhyme. Sometimes the rhyme is hard to find. Sometimes the find is not the kind that simpler minds would tend in time.[/ul][/li]I gotta go for now, but I just wanned to spark serios consideration of how to vary the processes and expectations used to come up with rhymes! Get creative in a different way and you’ll find the rhyme—or I will later tell you what I came up with.

I always liked Alice Cooper’s solution to being faced with a word that’s hard to rhyme. From “School’s Out”:

That’s why I think the man was a genius…

Bah… oranges, schmoranges.

As is suggested by some of the other posts above, remember we do not aim aim to rhyme words with words, per se, but sounds with sound, instead

What rhymes with month?
I haven’t a hunch!
Wh’rhymes wit’ oran[i/]ge?
Hey, go ask L
aurren[i/]!

I think you can add “desert” to the list of non-rhyming words.

Oddly enough, in Spanish, it seems nothing rhymes with “anaranjado” either.

Penguin.

What do you mean nothing rhymes with anaranjado? Enojado, cansado, anything with -ado (i.e. the participle of any -ar verb).

Anyway, there is a rhyme for month, and what is more, it was discovered by the spooky Christina Rossetti herself, who wrote:

How many weeks in a month?
Four, as the swift moon runn’th.

And rhymemaster Tom Lehrer contributed:

Eating an orange
While making love
Makes for a bizarre enj-
Oyment thereof.

And finally, I remember a book in Sunday school that talked about waters (in the Garden of Eden) that were purple and “went churrrpple churrrple churrrple”).
