Today's buzzwhack buzzword is "oranging up", which buzzwhack defines as A sign that the weather is getting warmer. It’s when the USA Today weather map turns from cool blues and greens to warm yellows, oranges and reds.http://www.buzzwhack.comSilly me. When I started reading the definition, I immediately completed it as A sign that the weather is getting warmer. It’s when all the orange barrels and cones pop up on the roads as we seque directly from winter into construction season.or A sign that the weather is getting warmer. It’s when all the beach bunny wanna-bes slather themselves with artificial tanner.

oranging up : making the color of (part of) a post nearly unreadable in an obvious attempt to be cute.

or, oranging up : messing up the scansion of a poem in a futile attempt to make a clever rhyme; to wit: to make a rhyme of sil- ver or other rhymeless rhyme requires only will, verbosity, and time

"or other rhymeless rhyme" of which the most famous in the English language is, perhaps, orange.
