Words that rhyme with Barring
Take barring apart phonetically and the bones are these: two-syllable, vowel on the clipped /ษช/, ending that trails through a nasal hum. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. From the rhyme-data side: perfect-rhyme territory is narrow, family-rhyme territory comes up dry, and the assonance well is bottomless. From the lyric side, it works as an unguarded everyday word.

Why barring rhymes the way it does
Barring is built around the short /ษช/ (/ษช/); it's two-syllable and lets the nasal carry the tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 7 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 83, assonance 7,692, and consonance 120. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for barring tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
