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.

    If you’re interested in words, Something Rhymes with Purple is a podcast with Susie Dent and Gyles Brandreth.

    Whenever Gyles is on Qi, about half the episode is him going off on an anecdote.

      Whenever Giles is on Qi, about half the episode is him going off on an anecdote.

      I think it’s Brandreth? Not gonna lie, those are some of the best ones. You never know if what he’s saying is 100% true because he was there or 100% out of his ass. Either way, you leave entertained.

        I will go back and rewatch his episodes just to hear the fun Grandpa stories!

        (Also, fixed the spelling, I got that all kindsa wrong)
