William of Orange
Words that (kind of) rhyme with orange: syringe, citrange, range, derange
ORIGIN late Middle English : from Old French orenge (in the phrase pomme d'orenge), based on Arabic nāranj, from Persian nārang.
Someone called John Field is responsible for this limerick:
There once was a man of Fort Orange
Who longed to make rhymes using orange.
But he quit in despair,
And hung himself in mid-air,
Where he swings to and fro like a door 'inge.
blancmange?
I was playing the improv warm-up game "did you say" once, and I said, "his shirt was red", at which point someone said "Did you say red?", and in my haste, I responded, "No, I said orange", at which point about 6 people said "Did you say orange?", and I was screwed.
Orange rhymes with no other word.
