We should call webster's and try to get Bilver, Curple, and Dorange in the dictionary.

Any ideas on what they should mean?

Only if you pronounce it as orhenge, which isn't quite correct. 😛

There are no words in the English language that rhyme with orange or purple, and the only words to rhyme with silver are variations like quicksilver, germansilver, etc...

 
I took a cut and ate a piece from my nice little orange,
I flushed the peel and and it blocked my pipe flange.

You have to mispronounce orange to make that work.
 
Oranges poranges, who says, oranges poranges,
who says, oranges poranges, who says--
there ain't no rhyme for oranges!

Many people pronounce orange as "oringe" but technically, it's not correct... so those really don't rhyme either. 😛

That is the only way I've ever heard orange pronounced. Are you saying it should be orange with the same sound as range? Like I'm from the south?

So you pronounce the middle vowel in orange like you world sryringe? There's a bit of a difference I think, it's not a full short a, its almost like an "eh", you know what I mean?
