blarferple--an cross beam used in ancient religious constructions

(the fake word and definition I straight-facedly gave to a male friend who challenged me to come up with a word that rhymes with purple. I almost fooled him and got a free beer. It's a talent. I can't teach it)

True Flint.

Funny thing was, dude says "a word from 3000 years ago doesn't count" and as he said that he realized I was goofin' him and he got really embarrassed. I told him it was OK, he just knows I'm so smart he had no reason to doubt me.

Are there any words that aren't colors that have no rhymes?

CISM is an acronym, not a word, but some of the newer folk in the business say it to rhyme with rhythm rather than the correct way, which is to say each letter.

Good question, the only other one I could think of was orange. He said there were six. But now, reading this article, I find there really are rhymes for orange and purple. Who woulda thunk?

Edit: this article contradicts itself. First it cites rhymes for orange and purple and silver then it lists those words in rhymeless word list.

If it's pronounced similar to "schism" I don't think it rhymes with rhythm.

If you haven't, you must immediately rush out and purchase the game "Balderdash", and play it with six intelligent, preferably intoxicated friends. Being able to read well, and lie with a straight face, is an essential skill in this rather terrific game.
