Arnge


I grew up with the one syllable "arnge" (central PA). Californian DH ridiculed me into Or-ange over the years.

My family makes fun of me mercilessly. I am from the Eastern Shore, but the only one who says it this way.

I blame my younger brother who when we were kids loved the knock knock joke:

KK
who's there
banana
banana who
KK
who's there
Banana
Banana who
KK
Who's there?
Orange
Orange who?
Arnge you glad I didn't say banana?

To make that joke work, orange has to sound sort of like aren't. Hence, arnge.


Ok, but even still, the joke only works if you’re like, 6 yo.
