Invent a Word That Rhymes with Orange And Analyze the Logic Behind It

Cornge 1.
(kornj) NOUN – Any not widely cultivated tall grass (Zea Citronensis) that resembles maize and has a sweet citrus flavor. 2. A tea made from the leaves of this plant.

The logic behind this choice of word seems to me somewhat self-explanatory; thus, I feel that this is a failure as far as the exercise goes, although I did have fun doing it, and I think that the word sounds funny.

Hence,

Cornge 2.
(kornj) NOUN – British English. Vulgar Slang. Jail, as in the phrase, "Throw him in the cornge."

Just sounds like a rough and nasty place to be.

  1. Carwrench - a wrench used specifically to repair cars.

    A moment of typical usage (in New York)

    "do you want the monkey wrench?"

    "You think I am repairing monkeys?!? I am trying to fix the $#%!! car!"

    "Well then here is the carwrench you #$#@*!""
