AMAZING WORD GAME

Did you know that, the words "race car" spelled backwards still spells "race car"? And did you know that although "orange" is the most famous word having no rhyme in English, its also true of "ninth", "pint", "silver", and "wolf"?
And that "eat" is the only word that, if you take the first letter and move it to the last, spells its own past tense, "ate"?

And if you rearrange the letters in "Tea Party Republicans," and add just a few more letters, it spells: "Shut the fuck up you progress-blocking, benefit-cutting, resource-sucking, gun-toting, radical hypocrites, and deal with the fact that you nearly wrecked the country under Bush and that our president is black, so get over it."

Isn't that interesting?

17. Barenaked Ladies managed to rhyme with Orange 3 times in one verse
from “Four Seconds”:
Oh Flip, The light is turning Orange
Coat ripped, when I caught it in the door hinge
I slipped when the lady in the 4 inch
Bought it in a store in G(ermany).


None of them are actual single words, of course, but it's still kinda neat.

Oh, and I LOLed at your post. K&R.

30. One of my best friends
in Oklahoma is a granny who has been fighting fires all summer long. She hasn't done much cooking, either. Hope the weather breaks to the good for you soon. :hi:

21. I've invented a rhyme for orange
Edited on Wed Aug-24-11 05:55 PM by LiberalEsto
The word is moringe (n),

It's a combination of "moronic" and "fringe" and can be used to describe Teabaggers and other rightwingnuts.

Examples:

A half dozen members of the moringe demonstrated at our congressperson's town hall meeting.

Sarah Palin is a total moringe.

Fux News is definitely aimed at the moringe.

Even though John Boehner is orange,
he's beholden to the moringe.


Use freely!

26. You have no reason to regret it, I hope.
It's fun to exercise that particular 'muscle.' Play, I think, is the most important element to creation. :hi:
