    Gorange rhymes with orange. On QI they mentioned it, it means to binge on something. Blorange is apparently a place in Wales.

    Or you could just use the word Door Hinge.

    Actually, there's a village in wales named "Bloringthe", which is pronounced "Bl-orange". And yes, it used to be named something else, but they decided to be clever.

    Pretty sure that she's comfortable with near-rhymes as well, particularly ones as near as "Pilfer" (only reason its not a full rhyme for Silver is that you don't voice the labiodental fricative in the former), or Carpal (Vowular shift in first syllable, but they are related vowels, and both have the r shift)

    However, one should never let the truth get in the way of a good story. Good work! :zecoracrazy:

    But they don't have wales in equestria, and I would argue that using names is a way of cheating in the rhyming game unless the object or person bearing the name is the subject of a poem or otherwise. That's just my personal opinion, though.

    #66 · 48w, 3d ago · · ·
    Reply 

    >>738882 It's... Actually more rare NOT to know the word Flora, as Far as I know.  It's even a Name in Real life, and It would suprise me if it weren;t one in equestria. In all, Not an uncommon word, Though it may just depend on where you live, I suppose. Now, For a VERY uncommon word that could help a Zebra out, Try Chilver. It's definition is a Ewe-lamb. Buggered If I can find one for Orange though. Purple has a good one though, Vis Curple. It's the strap underneath the girth of a saddle to stop the Saddle Kicking foward. A word more likely to be in common(ish) use in Equestria than here IRL. If no-one else in Ponyville knew it, Rarity probably would.

That's getting really technical in my opinion, anyway. How would you even introduce those words and it make sense? No, let's just let the issue drop. Please. For the sake of enjoying a story.

    Maybe, but it gets less 'fun' when every other comment is a quip about rhyming. It was hard enough for Sorren to come up with rhymes as it was. Much less trying to search all of the English language for words that don't rhyme besides orange. Everybody knows orange.

    I'm rambling.

    Short answer: it's annoying that everybody comments just to point it out. Fun for a few comments, annoying for all the rest.

    Maybe I'm just too easily annoyed. Idk. I'm a crazy person, what do I know?
