The "s" is pronounced differently in those plurals. Is it just my dialect?

 

I don't need a rhyming word for any particular reason, but I found it interesting that I could not think of one.

That's the point. It's all about how you pronounce it. I saw a story on Eminem (Marshall Mathers / Slim Shady) on 60 Minutes a while back that reinforced this point... It's all about how you shape the word in your mouth and the rhythm you use to push out the syllables. Also, regardless of mouth shape and rhythm of the syllables, waltz is really quite a bit closer no matter how you pronounce it, IMO.

 

 

What rhymes with oranges?

 

From the above referenced 60 Minutes story:

 

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2010/10/eminem-finds-five-words-that-rhyme-with-orange-on-60-minutes.html

“People say that the word orange doesn't rhyme with anything ... I can think of a lot of things that rhyme with orange," said Eminem, seated behind a mixing board at his private recording studio, before effortlessly conjuring an on the spot rap about putting an “orange, four-inch, door hinge in storage" and having "porridge with Geo-rge.”

Waltz, halts, salts, malts, and faults are all very close, but they're not perfect. False is unique because its "al" is followed by a normal S sound, not a z-like S sound.

Someone will probably come up with a rhyming proper name at some point.

 

Pulse.

With the tinges of bright oranges, children still fear the big syringes.

pilfer

Yeah, I'll accept that. The 'f' sound in place of the 'v' throws it off a bit, but close enough.

Schmaltz rhymes with False.

Not in any accent I have heard.

I've heard some people with the surname Schmaltz pronounce it fairly close to rhyming with false, but as a word it definitely doesn't.

I'm curious to see how creative everyone can get:

 

What rhymes with purple? What word do you think rhymes with purple?

What rhymes with purple?

 

Her pole.

 

What word do you think rhymes with purple?

 

I, a speaker of the English language, declare by an unprivileged oral right as a speech-capable organism and hereby ordain with the power of evolutionary linguistics this newly formed compound word, now and forever known in all its glorious verisimilitude as "her-pole". Let it be known.

Presumably, it would rhyme with perpole, if that was a word.

On the other hand it wouldn't rhyme with this

When I googled that, I was expecting to find this joke.

Well... do you remember the drink called Burple?

You could always rhyme that you have a purple Burple filled with purple nurple. But, don't forget the painful purple nurple that could make you drop your purple nurple filled Burple. Because if you do, we'll proclaim a party foul and make you chug your purple nurple filled Burple until you become the color purple evil.gif

Furpull - the pulling of fur, written as an adjective.

 

btw: none of the words employing a 't' rhyme with "false" (waltz, etc) bcause the absence of a t is phonemically meaningful: "faults" is a different word.
