Why bathtub rhymes the way it does
Bathtub is built around the central /ส/ (/ส/); it's two-syllable and lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 22, assonance 6,708, and consonance 0. 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. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With bathtub, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
