Waaaay back when I was in elementary school in the 70's a teacher stated that there was no rhyme for Orange. I immediately piped up "Door Hinge!" and got a super frosty glare in return. All the kids laughed and I won school that day.

My first grade teacher told us words didn't rhyme unless they ended with at least the same 3 letters. It's like they were trying to make us stupid.

Oh cool so then lots of words rhyme with orange! Such as strange, cringe, and lunge for example!

Not to mention hi, thigh, Thai, rye, pie, sky, eye, why, and fry all sound nothing alike.

Most will try to argue 'thats not a word' but they also never said they wanted 1 word that rhymes with it, either. They especially don't like that being pointed out.
