Rhymes with Orange?
If I hadn't been reading A Capital Idea, then I wouldn't have known about these neat-o T-shirts for verbivores.
Lots of other interesting stuff for language lovers there, too.

I love that crying orange. It cracked me up along with everyone I showed it to.
Me too! Broke my heart to see that shirt was out of print. But maybe if enough of us put in a request...
Florange!
I looked around the web to see what the situation was with Florange.
I found the Urban Dictionary.
Check out Florange: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=florange&defid=1884912
P.S. I think its a great T-Shirt too.
I get wary and chary
when cherry's rhymed with fairy.
P.S. I wonder if Hilary Price, who does the "Rhymes with Orange" comic strip, has seen this cute drawing.
Wikipedia's article on "Orange (the word)" includes this verse it attributes to Tom Lehrer:
Eating an orange
While making love
Makes for bizarre enj-
oyment thereof.
Daz, that is AWESOME! Thanks for sharing.
Language lover, glad you liked the Lehrer verse.
Btw, do you know about the Equinox (word game) parties in the East Bay? They've been held semi-annually -- around the equinoxes -- since 1985, organized by some friends (and formerly me -- but I no longer live in the area).
If you'd like to know more about them, please e-mail me at

Huh. Very nice! But does he mean enjoyment of the orange, or the other?
The best way to answer that is empiricallly.
