Why chairman rhymes the way it does
In our engine, chairman registers as a two-syllable word on the flat /æ/ (/æ/) that lets the line ring through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 47, assonance 11,399, and consonance 29. 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: 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. Chairman reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
