Does anyone out there know an English word which rhymes with \ORANGE\?
Orange is notable as one of the most common words in English that does not rhyme with any other word. The closest “real” approximation is door-hinge, although torn hinge, or inch, a wrench, and flange [1] have also been suggested. Orange does have a word that rhymes with it, Blorenge, a mountain range in Wales. Some made-up words have rhymed with orange: grorange — a blend of green and the color orange (found in a Mario Brothers novel) korange — a hypothetical hybrid of the orange and the kumquat borange — “rubbish”, “of poor quality” (a coinage of comedian Ross Noble on the Triple J Ross & Terri show). atgrynge — the plural of “atgry” , an alternative name for the commercial at symbol (@) . Tom Lehrer once rhymed “orange” in the verse: Eating an orange While making love Makes for bizarre enj- oyment thereof.

The closest I can get is ‘poranger’, rhymes with oranger. A poranger is a pan that sits inside another pan. The outer pan contains water that can be heated to boiling while the food you are heating in the inner pan cannot get hotter than 100 C, so does not become over-cooked or burn to the pan bottom.
