But something does

about Nothing Rhymes With Orange

everyone says nothing rhymes with orange, but "door-hinge" does, even though its technically 2 words..... rest easy poor orange your mate is found

kayceislost on Nov 21 '06 at 9:23pm

ahhhh!

leende on Nov 21 '06 at 11:34pm

Hmm. Those don't rhyme.

Maybe it's just your American accent.

But then, even with an American accent, surely "hinge" has an "h" sound, and "door" has a long vowel sound while "orange" has a short vowel sound?

Then again, "cherry" and "fairy" don't actually rhyme to the rest of the English speaking world.

SHUT UP ALl OF YOU

Seriously leende, stfu. But if you come from NY and pronounce orange more like 'aarange' then 'carnage' kind rhymes with it too.

btw- two words don't count.

mindtrance on Nov 22 '06 at 8:14am

someone else posted this same blog about 8 months ago when the shirt was first printed.

Jooliesays on Nov 22 '06 at 8:22am

ahhh, the language that divides us **said with a fake accent**

deboraborialis on Nov 22 '06 at 8:24am

Why don't we re-start the debate on cherry and fairy not rhyming.....

narflet on Nov 22 '06 at 8:26am

*headdesk*

this.passion.is.a.plagiarism on Nov 22 '06 at 8:27am

I don't understand how they don't rhyme..

Chair-ee

Fair-ee

deboraborialis on Nov 22 '06 at 8:32am

Let's not go there.

deboraborialis on Nov 22 '06 at 8:35am

Ok, lets:

cher�ry (chĕr'ē)

fair�y (f�r'ē)

Westwood on Nov 22 '06 at 8:37am

I think it depends on your accent. They rhyme for me.

deboraborialis on Nov 22 '06 at 8:44am

That's cause your saying it wrong ;)

this.passion.is.a.plagiarism on Nov 22 '06 at 8:47am

aaaaaaahhhhh

WallsReallyWork on Nov 22 '06 at 8:52am

guys, when this was first printed, there were about 20 of these blogs, arguing whether door hinge was a rhyme, differenet kinda of rhymes (Slant and perfect), banana and montana, ferry rhyming with cherry, but not fairy, but it depended on your accent.

IT DOESNT FUCKING MATTER!

and if it does matter enough to you, then dont buy it. and if you still think its an awesome shirt, then DO buy it. problem solved.

bananaphone on Nov 22 '06 at 8:53am

door hinge and orange don't rhyme. You have a stupid mouth noises. The end =P

adam antium on Nov 22 '06 at 8:55am

deboraborialis on Nov 22 '06 at 9:28am

We know this has been raised before, but like to debate. Leave us alone!

plastikaa on Nov 22 '06 at 10:13am

yeah and whats with care and pear .... surely "big long winding stair" is a better rhyme for pear?

dpj.deli on Nov 22 '06 at 10:16am

'you have stupid mouth noises' hahahahahahah

miss _scarlet on Nov 22 '06 at 3:49pm

if you speak English basically if other people understand what your saying than it's right

miss _scarlet on Nov 22 '06 at 3:51pm

they should come up with a car called Lo-rang so something does finally rhyme with orange.

Larlar on Nov 22 '06 at 4:04pm

door hinge argument = I hate you

Deadbolt13 on Nov 22 '06 at 5:01pm

if you speak English basically if other people understand what your saying than it's right

Grammar... abuse... overload... ah!

astrolatry on Nov 22 '06 at 11:48pm

um, you totally stole this from as told by ginger.

but it's okay. that show was great.

Rachel Ray Gun on Nov 22 '06 at 11:50pm

are you fucking kidding me

myspacetom on Nov 22 '06 at 11:54pm

mukai on Nov 23 '06 at 12:25am

"if you speak English basically if other people understand what your saying than it's right"

If that were the case we'd stop teaching English in primary school. Just because people are unfortunate enough to decypher your drivel in every day life doesn't mean you talk properly.

davemcnasty on Nov 23 '06 at 1:05pm

banana and montana don't exactly rhyme....their endings are just the same

iLoveBeans on Nov 23 '06 at 7:04pm

yeah i knew this was from tv show i saw back in the day and it ws the first thing i thought of wneh i saw this shirt. but i couldn't remember what it was, but now i think it was whatserface ginger or whatever that show is called. anyway, the way i pronounce orange it doesnt rhyme with door hinge.

loserbeech on Nov 23 '06 at 7:16pm

The thing with this argument is that everyone but me is wrong.

Crono Volta on Nov 23 '06 at 8:48pm

PORRIDGE!!!!!

There the argument is over.

I ate an orange and then I had some porridge.

^There is rhymes PERFECTLY. So something does rhyme with orange. PORRIDGE!

FionaB on Nov 23 '06 at 8:51pm

shuddup.

nothing rhymes.

The Amazing Duck on Nov 23 '06 at 9:20pm

Orange/porridge? I cant even imagine how those would rhyme.

Beccasaur on Nov 24 '06 at 2:52am

Suddenly i'm questioning the way i pronounce everything.

I never would have thought. door hinge. orange.

I guess if you say door hinge like it's one word it works.

dooringe. orange. yep.

hogboy on Nov 24 '06 at 2:57am

oh good god

miss _scarlet on Nov 24 '06 at 11:56am

Hey bananaphone who says what's the right way to pronounce anything?

El_Dictador_Cubano on Nov 24 '06 at 11:59am

you Americans! I fart in your general direction!

miss _scarlet on Nov 24 '06 at 12:01pm

Who says I'm american?

merise on Nov 25 '06 at 2:06pm

Orange and door-hinge totally rhyme. Mr. Grunstworth, I salute you.

theymightbepoz on Nov 25 '06 at 2:09pm

I still don't understand how Cherry and fairy don't rhyme....

caoline on Nov 26 '06 at 9:48pm

if door hinge was one word and orange was OR-HINGE, then it would rhyme. if porridge was PORR-INDGE, then it would rhyme. but its not, so it doesnt! nothing rhymes with orange. no matter how you pronounce it.

MathaisGruntsworth on Dec 06 '06 at 11:28pm

actually, i didn't steal it from any show, my friend gave me the shirt for my birthday and broke the news to me. i almost started crying like the orange but the people have a right to know!

jennarito on Dec 07 '06 at 7:11am

Definition of a rhyme:

1. identity in sound of some part, esp. the end, of words or lines of verse.

2. a word agreeing with another in terminal sound: Find is a rhyme for mind and womankind.

So yeah, according to this definition they rhyme. Door Hinge and Orange, Cherry and Fairy, Banana and Montana.

BUT, Door Hinge is two words, so it doesn't count.

Plus, I love this shirt.

tic on Dec 15 '06 at 1:10pm

I say it 'OAR-inj', so door-hinge, syringe, and binge all work for me. But I can also rhyme wash and marsh, so I don't think that counts.

MathaisGruntsworth on Dec 16 '06 at 1:23pm

ya but if you hyphenate it door-hinge, then its one word.
