TIL that there are two words in the English language that rhyme with 'purple'
I always believed that there were none, but on a rewatch of QI, I learned there are actually two:
- Hurple / hirple: To limp (verb) or a limping gait (noun)
- Curple: A strap under the girth of a horse's saddle to stop the saddle from kicking forward.

I like blurple: a mix of blue and purple.
Unfortunately, it's not a real word although it absolutely should be. There are car paint colors that I can only accurately describe as "blurple" lol.
"Real" words aren't a thing.
Dictionaries describe natural language, they don't define it.
Yes I knew it's not real. But I like to think it is. I would like a car with blurple racing stripes!
