Yellow - because bananas don't come in oragne, silver or purple. Or because it is usually regarded as a primary colour??...

I will give a clue, I can use the colour black or blue or white etc instead of yellow.

You can write a decent limerick using 'yellow', but you would struggle with the others.

You can rhyme 'Yellow'
i.e. Mellow.

this has sparked a big row on my desk at work.
TURR - TULL
PURR - PULL
that is how those 2 words are pronounced, so i think they are a full rhyme - both syllables are fully rhyming. opinion is divided however, and it seems people are prepared to kill over this as it is getting quite heated here

Far be it from me to stir things up but it should be TUR - TEL. PURR - PULL is a tom cat on the razz.
Words that do not rhyme with any other word
Hmm, I have stopped collecting them. People disagree violenly, and my mailbox starts to overflow! Apparently, the English language has words that do not rhyme with any other word (kind of a prime number of linguistics). (thanks to Tim McNamara for pointing out this class of words, and for various others for following this up).
Purple (there is a theme developing here)
Pint
Nothing (surely something rhymes with nothing?)
Silver (?)
Month (Marcus)
Orange (dispute by Darrell and Jim, who claim Lozenge is the answer, and Aaron Wells tells me that door-hinge also rhymes: "There are no words that rhyme with 'orange'," Says this sign beside my door-hinge.)

Not a rhyme.
Rhymes' last syllables have to be the same, that's where the rhyme comes from. Turtle-Purple is a case of assonance (vowel sounds the same). Not a rhyme.
Trust me I'm a linguist...

It's a great name for a bar though. Purple Turtle that is, not Turtle Purple. I used to put parties on in the one at Camden Town.

Seeing as no one has attempted the celebrity question, the answer was Jo Brand, the other three are left handed, too hard I know, so no more, I will not be mocked by AJ's mock TURR - TULL.
