there aren't any words in English that rhyme with Orange, apart from Blorenge and Gorringe, which don't count, and sporange, which it doesn't rhyme with anyway

orange is a nice word. In english it started out as a norange (or similar) and then became an orange

I think the same thing happened with "horse"  ;D (listen to John Otway singing -"ridin an a ridin an a ridin an a ridin on an orse"

There was a young man with big oranges,
And everyone called him a toff
So he put them all into zome lozenges
And they cleared up his chest and his cough...

I asked that nice man Mr Gorringe
why is Dale Winton orange?
He said - he don't look quite right
Too much Sunny Delight
or sun-bathing nude on the Blorenge

On doctor's strict orders I strove
To eat garlic each hour by the clove.
He said, 'Good for the heart.'
Well, it just made me fart.  :o  :-[  :o
But it saved on the gas for my stove

                             I want em saying
                    "Oh Crap! Whats she up to now ?"
