I heard somewhere that if a word is used often enough, it gets formally accepted into the dictionary. So, here's my plan: I'm going to make up a word that rhymes with "orange" and copyright it. Then I'm going to keep putting it into all my conversations and communications until it catches on. As soon as it gets into the dictionary, I'm going to start selling it to songwriters (and Scrabble enthusiasts) and start charging royalty payments.

Now I just need to think of the word. If you'd like to make some suggestions, I'm willing to give you a cut of the profits.

How about 'Florange'. It would be the flower of the orange tree.

No wait, there already is one. Ignorance, which discribes the group of people that have not heard about your plan yet. Which by the number of views is the entire world except you and me. That is a duo-range. (hyphen for clarity). Hm, i think you are on to something. Maybe we can think of a color that rhymes with orange? Nah, that's pushing it.

That's all very well Robbie but frankly, I can't see anybody using a word like krakatorange in a song, can you? We need something that rolls off the tongue a little more easily.

Unless he has a gun against his head. Although I must admit we have a lot of words in dutch that are much worse. Some people don't even want to try to pronounce them!

I can imagine. There was a Dutch guy at college with me whose name was 'Gertjean'. In the end, after getting tired of dribbling down our shirt fronts, we all just called him 'Clint'. My sister used to call him 'Curtains' and by the end of the course, we had all started to call him 'Gertie'.

My dad went to the States a couple of times. His first name is Tjeerd (a Frisian version of Gerard). The people ended up calling him TeeJay. The proper pronunciation made them feel like they were swallowing their tongues...
