Words that rhyme with Bollocks
Bollocks, a two-syllable workaday word, lands its weight on the round /ษ/ and softens into a fricative tail. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. From the rhyme-data side: perfect rhymes simply aren't available, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, and the slant pool is enormous on the vowel side. From the lyric side, it works as a plain-speech anchor. Use the assonance pool freely; the ear treats most of those matches as rhymes.

Why bollocks rhymes the way it does
Bollocks sits on the round /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and trails off into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 66, assonance 9,351, and consonance 24. 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 bollocks, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
