Words that rhyme with Biting
Biting reads as a household-word on the page; phonetically it's two-syllable, anchored on the high /ษช/, ending where it trails through a nasal hum. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. Two readings: as data โ you won't run short of perfect rhymes, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, the assonance well runs into four figures; as lyric โ a word everyone uses. Spend the first verse in the perfect column before sampling the slants.

Why biting rhymes the way it does
Biting is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the short /ษช/, then it ends on a humming nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 64 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 394, assonance 4,103, and consonance 555. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. 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 biting tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
