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.
