Are there any English words that rhyme with

[McMouse]

orange, purple, and silver?

[aniani]

Chilver = female lamb

[BertieButton]

HURPLE a Scots word that means to limb - does that count? The TV programme QI covered this on an episode once, so if you google it you might find others!

[boxtops]

I too was going to say Hurple, to limp....

Depends how you pronounce Orange, whether you could rhyme it with fringe...

[McMouse]

Thanks you..............I'll try these out.

[BertieButton]

I do of course mean LIMP - Sorry!

[quinie]

BertieButton - scots word for limp is hirple.

[BertieButton]

There are apparently regional differences in the spelling of hurple/hirple depending on how you pronounce it !!

[quinie]

BertieButton, sorry I questioned your answer. It's just that there's no mention of "hurple" in any of my Scots dictionaries, but as you say it could be a regional spelling.Would love to know where they pronounce it "hurple" Up north it's often pronounced "herpling". Any way it doesn't matter in this case as they ask for English words.

[aniani]

There is no word to rhyme with orange or month

[Canary42]

When she dressed her dog in purple
The shame of it just made the cur pull

[Goofy]

I suspect quinie that you are being a tad pedantic!
I would think that 'English' refers to English language (i.e. including Scots, American words) rather then English as spoken in england.

What rhymes with "lemon" ?

[jno]

Stephen Sondheim once wrote a poem on this subject:

To find a rhyme for silver
Or any 'unrhymable' rhyme
Requires only, ver
Bosity and Time.

(He wrote it for Time magazine, hence the word in the last line)

[jno]

burder... should have been:

Requires only will, ver
Bosity and Time.

[quinie]

Hi,Goofy, I'm afraid I never thought of it that way-just thought it meant Queen's English. Apologies again.
