Sliver, corporal and cunth, are close enough.:)

I've always figured "pilfer" was close enough for silver too.

this depends on how you pronounce orange.

I say 'AAARNJ' one sylable .......now that i've said it repeatedly, i'm pretty sure that it isn't a word at all.


When you repeat a word, it loses it's connotation. try saying "north" over and over 20 or 30 times.

Well, if you're not going to speak English, all bets are off.:rolleyes:

In Scots English there is a word "hirple" to rhyme with "purple". It means to hurry along in a limping manner (probably comes from the same root as to "hobble").
Just thought you'd like to know ....

why does RX stand for pharmacy?

Subcontracted to another knowledge pool.

Summary: Probably from Latin recipe, "to take".

We rarely use that one at work, but often document tx and sx ...

There are a LOT of weird medical abbreviations. My personal favorite is SCUT. So descriptive, yet so mysterious.

I have to be careful when I'm writing lists and things longhand that other people are going to have to use, because a lot of the medical abbreviations, while they make sense, like many kinds of industry specific shorthand, only do so when you have the context.

Is there a rhyme for "window"? Or "meringue"?

And is there a rhyme for "people" other than steeple? Because I am tired of song writers twisting hell out of the the flow of the lyrics' meaning to squeeze in a reference to a steeple.
