I was really hoping to see a Monkey Island comment <3

This was my favorite Monkey Island game. I felt like it had all the charm, brilliance and comedy of the first two, but with a much prettier and more engaging world.

And it's easily better than all the ones that came after it, too. Though I haven't played the newest one - that art style is like rubbing sandpaper in my eyes.

Wow, that's Canadian? I remember the early days of Nickelodeon just pulling children's programming from wherever (didn't know it at the time). Turns out I watched a bunch of anime and Canadian shows without realizing it.

For real. I watched this show a lot.

Waaaay back when I was in elementary school in the 70's a teacher stated that there was no rhyme for Orange. I immediately piped up "Door Hinge!" and got a super frosty glare in return. All the kids laughed and I won school that day.

My first grade teacher told us words didn't rhyme unless they ended with at least the same 3 letters. It's like they were trying to make us stupid.

KittenPics t1_jcys6xq wrote

Oh cool so then lots of words rhyme with orange! Such as strange, cringe, and lunge for example!

shrlytmpl t1_jcyumwp wrote

Not to mention hi, thigh, Thai, rye, pie, sky, eye, why, and fry all sound nothing alike.

Most will try to argue 'thats not a word' but they also never said they wanted 1 word that rhymes with it, either. They especially don't like that being pointed out.

This it from a 90’s Canadian show called Under The Umbrella Tree

It is absolutely insane how the brain works. I'm confident I haven't heard of or thought of this show in 35 years... I see those puppets, and immediately remember Iggy.. WTH brain, why is that still in there?

The first time I heard door hinge rhyme for orange was either Rowan Martin or the Smother Brothers back in the sixties. I can't remember which it was though. I'm old.

Wolversteve t1_jcycwvj wrote

Am I the only one who thinks orange and door hinge don’t rhyme at all? I guess it all depends on how you pronounce orange. Or Ang could rhyme with door hinge I suppose, but if I was gonna pronounce it like that I would rather rhyme it with porridge

JakalDX t1_jcyzjx1 wrote

It's called a slant rhyme, and yeah like you said, it depends on saying the word in a specific way to make it rhyme. Like "orringe"

naymlis t1_jcys4io wrote

Door hinge is more of a perfect rhyme but I do like porridge

1

CompleMental t1_jcyx6ad wrote

Neither is perfect

1

naymlis t1_jcyzqen wrote

Door is a perfect rhyme for the first syllable or and hinge is a perfect rhyme for the second inge. As long as you pronounce it that way obviously

CompleMental t1_jcz4jyq wrote

People pronounce the -ange like -inge? That makes no sense to me and I’ve never heard anyone say the words similarly. Do people say “oringe” or “door-ahnge”?

naymlis t1_jcz6o5f wrote

Oringe is the only way I pronounced it and heard the majority of ppl say it that way. Never heard ppl say "or onj"

Before Eminem was famous, I heard a British comedian say it with a British accent.

SuspiciousBadger t1_jcypwnh wrote

Idk if it's my accent or whatnot, but don't porridge, morgage, storage, forage all rhyme as well? I was always mildly confused by this.

naymlis t1_jcysdk4 wrote

They do but none of those are perfect rhymes

arealhumannotabot t1_jcyu3sd wrote

Well, in a way yes, and in the video where Emienm breaks down this type of rhyming, some of those words are words he uses in the example and the basic idea of how it works

He never said he was the first to rhyme orange with door hinge, though...

>Well, in a way yes, and in the video where Emienm breaks down this type of rhyming

It's called a slant rhyme, and the way you make it work is usually to use several more of them. It's like a quick re-training of the ear to accept these imperfect rhymes more readily because the pattern is more obvious.

I don't recall anyone saying Eminem was the first to do so, but that idea has been spreading

I’ve never heard anyone claim Eminem was the first to do that

Holy shit! I think about this exact moment when I hear nothing rhymes with Orange!

I’ve rhymed orange with Stone Henge. Nobody ever seems to notice.
