General rules:
1. No Kritiks
2. Adhere to the resolution
3. PRO waives first round, CON waives last round
4. CON has burden of proof, as he needs only a single example to affirm his side of the resolution
Specific rules:
1. Use the most common pronunciation of a word – regional dialects and accents are invalid.
2. No proper nouns (otherwise you could make anything up)
3. Eye rhymes, half rhymes, and slant rhymes are invalid – it must be a perfect rhyme.
Full forfeiture
I put my orange four-inch door hinge in storage
And ate porridge with George
Full Forfeit by Con
Forfiture.
Objection!

sporanges does not rhyme at all.
only 'inj' 'eenj' type endings should rhyme.
IDK why you think it's a truism, most reliable sources are against me on this. I'll debate you later on the condition that you don't mention "sporange," since I don't feel like ping-ponging sources.
make it 3 day rounds and challenge and me I'll accept on those lines.
There is actually room for Con here, I am willing to take it.
I will back that 'syringe' 'unhinge' etc rhyme and take you on the definition of rhyming.
The reason I tell you this is that I don't get how you thought this would just be an abusive truism debate that you can take the win with, the audience ought to root against you for the dirty trap and allow true single syllables to enable a rhyme.
The actual syllable in those words that rhymes is not a half-rhyme nor a slant-rhyme, there is legitimate room for debate here on what the definition of a rhyme is including 'cringe' and 'binge' in what I'll explore as the way to define rhyming.
Orange isn't even the only color with no rhyme. Think of silver and purple.
Good, so it is not a hint to any side in the debate.
Objection, "orange" does not rhyme with "itself".
Wrong. Clearly it rhymes with itself.
