Hi Marco!
Welcome to the list.

Using Regular Expressions is not necessary.
Try the following:

#
l = ['I like Orange juice','orange','OranGes are good','I like apple']

for item in l[:]:                              #Make a copy of the list, and
iterate through it.
  if item.lower().count("orange"):   #Get the string in lowercase, and count
the number of times "orange" appears.
    l.remove(item)                          #If the count > 0, remove the
item.
#

But here's a HOWTO for Regular Expressions anyway.

HTH,
