CORRINGE, FORRINGE

A Corringe is the ironed front pleat of a pair of dress pants, a Forringe the rear. (These words were created and used extensively at Cal State University, San Francisco, in the early 1990s. They addressed a lack of proper nouns for ironed pleats and also remedied the lack of words that rhyme with orange. The songwriters and doggerel writers in the area were thankful for our inventions.) Example: Your Corringes and Forringes all look sharp.
