There are many words that have no rhyme in the English language. "Orange" is only the most famous. Other words that have no rhyme include: silver, purple, month, ninth, pint, wolf, opus, dangerous, marathon, and discombobulate.

BTW, you cannot lick your elbow.

Perhaps the discussion should begin by defining exactly what it means for words to rhyme.

A rhyme is a repetition of identical or similar sounds in two or more different words and is most often used in poetry and song. The word "rhyme" may also refer to a short poem, such as a rhyming couplet or other brief rhyming poem such as nursery rhymes.

How do "forceps" and "forestall" sound similar?
