Why butch rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for butch starts at the vowel โ the central /ส/, IPA /ส/ โ and ends where the line lands on a rare affricate consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1, assonance 865, and consonance 164. 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. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Butch reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
