I was waxing nostalgic, Logwood. Orange, porange, nothing rhymes with orange was a song sung by the witch in the show H.R. Pufnstuf, which played in the late 60's or early 70's. [insert showing-my-age emoticon here]
Actually, in Québec, there is a subtle difference between pronunciations...
Scavenge is pronounced: sca-vinj
Orange is pronounced: or-enj
Though, as we all know here, words are are pronounced differently depending upon where you live in the world so they may sound the same in your neck of the woods.
