Least Rhymable Word | comment |
When some person is expected to rhyme a word that has no rhyme in the dictionary. Orange is the word most commonly used for this; other allegedly unrhymable words in English include silver, purple, month, bulb, circle and film. This often is the consequence of them rhyming everything said by another character, who tries to stump them with something unrhymable. There are five conceivable outcomes: The person thinks for a moment, shrugs and gives up. The person thinks for a long while, then comes up with an amazing trick rhyme. The person cheats and uses a word that doesn't rhyme but is funny. The person cheats by rhyming the word with itself. The person cheats by using a word from another language. Often, if they manage to make a rhyme, it will be an Ogden Nash-style Painful Rhyme, Rhyming with Itself, perhaps even a Mid Word Rhyme. Usually if the word is "orange", the rhyme will be "door hinge"; how well that works depends on your accent. It can be alleviated with a Bilingual Rhyme if you speak French, where there are multiple words that rhyme with "orange". For anyone who's curious: the word "orange" is difficult to rhyme in the English language because it's of Persian etymology (a relative rarity in English), and entered the language later than most other words for colors. Before being a name for a color, it originally referred exclusively to the fruit, which (being indigenous to East Asia) didn't become widely known in Europe until the Middle Ages, when it was introduced by the Moors. Before the fruit's name caught on as a word for the color, it was likely called "red-yellow" or its equivalent. Incidentally, many of these words do have rhymes, even without resorting to midword rhyme, slant rhyme, or a non-standard pronunciation for the speaker's normal accent. Orange has sporange (cell structure where spores are produced) and Blorenge (name of a mountain in Wales); silver has chilver (a female lamb); month has granth (Hindi for book, also a Sikh holy text); and purple has burple and chirple, if you're okay with reviving the obsolete suffix -le that means "frequently or tendency to" (eg. Same vein as "crumble" or "sniffle"). That's quite interesting, isn't it? Might happen in an Awkward Poetry Reading. |

Exploited in the Christmas Episode ("The Fright Before Christmas"): Danny manages to temporarily derail Ghost Writer's reality-writing Christmas poem by grabbing an orange, which the Ghost Writer realizes too late that he can't rhyme with anything. The episode, by the way, ends with Walker taunting Ghost Writer (now safely imprisoned in Ghost Jail) by offering him an orange. | |

It Makes Sense in Context | |
Least Rhymable Word / int_ba236071 | comment |
The German classic would be "Mensch", human. "Die dampfenden Hälse der Pferde im Turm zu Babel" (translating that would be pointless) by Franz Fühmann is a language-game book for children, and of course he has to tackle that one. His characters resort to dialect ("den kenn'sch"), splitting ("Hafensch-lachterei") until the dummy, who doesn't see the problem, rhymes it on "Ranch", which is a well-established loan word (well, maybe not in the former German Democratic Republic...lampshading ensues). Two other poets rhymed the word by inflecting it: In the 19th century Heinrich Heine rhymed "Menschen" ("humans") with a shortened "abendländ'schen" (the adjective "occidental", also in plural), while in the 20th Peter Rühmkorf, who rhymed "Die schönsten Verse des Menschen" with "sind die Gottfried Bennschen" ("The most beautiful rhymes of Man are those by (poet) Gottfried Benn"). | |

The Face of the Sun | |
Least Rhymable Word / int_cb48e8db | comment |
The last Vitalite advert consisting of an anthropomorphic sun and a chorus of anthropomorphic sunflowers singing a send-up of "Israelites" by Desmond Dekker had the sun Rage Quit due to being unable to come up with a rhyme for "polyunsatures". This leads to an anthropomorphic moon taking the sun's place before the sun eventually returns due to not taking very kindly to being replaced. | |

Last-Second Word Swap | |
Least Rhymable Word / int_f165cf2c | comment |
An anonymous collective of Imperial Russian satirical poets known under the collective pen name Kozma Prutkov did play with this in their poem Military Aphorisms. In Russian, the word "Europe" (Yevropa) is considered the least rhymable; there is only one word that rhymes with it, and it is semi-obscene with the meaning of "buttocks". The poem uses the word for "Europe", than plays the audience's expectations of the butt-word, and changes it last second to "shlyapa" (hat) (with the obvious inkling that they really mean butt). | |
