And there's the unexpected Canadian nostalgia bump I didn't expect

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.

The first time I heard door hinge rhyme for orange was either Rowan Martin or the Smother Brothers back in the sixties. I can't remember which it was though. I'm old.

Ask Styles P about rhyming orange with garbage.

Am I the only one who thinks orange and door hinge don’t rhyme at all? I guess it all depends on how you pronounce orange. Or Ang could rhyme with door hinge I suppose, but if I was gonna pronounce it like that I would rather rhyme it with porridge

Wow, that's Canadian? I remember the early days of Nickelodeon just pulling children's programming from wherever (didn't know it at the time). Turns out I watched a bunch of anime and Canadian shows without realizing it.

Idk if it's my accent or whatnot, but don't porridge, morgage, storage, forage all rhyme as well? I was always mildly confused by this.

Bryant Oden (kids singer) has a cute song called the color song which also rhymes I have to burple with purple

Well, in a way yes, and in the video where Emienm breaks down this type of rhyming, some of those words are words he uses in the example and the basic idea of how it works

He never said he was the first to rhyme orange with door hinge, though...

I don't recall anyone saying Eminem was the first to do so, but that idea has been spreading

It's called a slant rhyme, and the way you make it work is usually to use several more of them. It's like a quick re-training of the ear to accept these imperfect rhymes more readily because the pattern is more obvious.

This would be some pretty strange casting for the prequel to 8 mile.

Before Eminem was famous, I heard a British comedian say it with a British accent.
