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.

      Unfortunately, it’s not a real word although it absolutely should be. There are car paint colors that I can only accurately describe as “blurple” lol.

        “Real” words aren’t a thing.

        Dictionaries describe natural language, they don’t define it.

        Yes I knew it’s not real. But I like to think it is. I would like a car with blurple racing stripes!
