Rhyming words

[Tenkaykev]

Hurple is to draw one's limbs in and scrunch up the shoulders in reaction to the cold or in a storm....

It's a real word that rhymes with Orange Purple

There’s a podcast about the English language called “ Something rhymes with Purple” it’s presented by Giles Brandreth and Susie Dent.

I subscribe.. I also sent them a twit thing regarding words that start and end with the same letter for their insomnia cure.

My one for 'i' was impi & for 'u' was uhuru

Eating an orange
While making love
Will only impair enj
Oyment thereof.

Of the orange, or the lovemaking, or both?

 

[TheDoctor]

Both, I would imagine. But you'd need to ask Tom Lehrer, who came up with the line IIRC.

There was an old fella from Slough
Whose cooking was terribly rough.
He roasted a cow,
Tied its tail in a bow,
And stuck a long skewer right through.

Purple - Curple

There was an old fella from Slough
Whose cooking was terribly rough.
He roasted a cow,
Tied its tail in a bow,
And stuck a long skewer right through.

Did he Laugh
Sitting one the the bough
When he realised that the Cow
was used to draw his plough ?

 

[Fnaar]

There was a young man from Dundee
Who got stung on the nose by a wasp.
When asked if it hurt,
He said "No, not much
It can do it again if it likes"

purple nurple!

Is that like a purple helmet, but a little more above the belt?

You'll be pleased to know there's a pub in Reading called the Purple Turtle.

Shouldn't that be the Purple Turple?

Or maybe the Purtle Turtle?

 

[Paulus]

Tootle, and pootle.

 

[Poacher]

There are at least two Sikh forenames which rhyme with purple.
I used to work with a woman called Herpal; her wedding was where I first encountered tea flavoured with cardamom. Very pleasant, but, er, unusual. The tea, I mean.
Gurpal is also quite a common name.

Does no one use a spirtle to stir their porridge anymore? I'm sure you get a purple spirtle.
