Why boycott rhymes the way it does
Boycott is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the short /ษ/, then it lands on a closed syllable. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 106 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 107, assonance 5,915, and consonance 1871. 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 the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Boycott is a word that benefits from the second pass.
