Someone please name a program something that rhymes with Orange, and another one that rhymes with Silver, please.

According to what I just read, there are no words (according to the English (?) dictionary that rhyme with either one of these words.

Thank you, and have a nice day.

I expect these by Friday, 5:30 PM at the latest.

technically orange and silver don't rhyme with any WORDS. So if you named a program it wouldn't be considered a word but instead it would be considered a proper noun

Ahem [puts on pedantic hat] -- actually, in poetry two words "rhyme" when their final syllables sound the same. So "orange" rhymes with "exchange," and and "silver" rhymes with "cantilever."

Words in which the final two syllables sound alike are known as "feminine rhyme" (don't ask me why). A lot of nursery rhymes use this method, which is why it's familiar to so many people. Orange and silver don't have any feminine (i.e., two-syllable) rhyming words. [puts pedantic hat back in box)

As for the two programs you're thinking of, I have no idea. :)

My favourite type of hat.

I can't stand separating ideas with .....s.
