Why bloody rhymes the way it does
To understand why bloody rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the high /ษช/, written /ษช/ โ and the ending, which leaves the vowel hanging open. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 12 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 10, assonance 3,807, and consonance 1202. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. 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 bloody tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
