Words that rhyme with Clip
You can read clip two ways: as a word everyone uses, or as a one-syllable shape on the tight /ɪ/ that lands on a stopped consonant. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. From the rhyme-data side: there are a few perfect rhymes, no more, family rhymes come up empty, and the vowel-match pool carries the volume. From the lyric side, it works as an unguarded everyday word. Let the assonance column shape the verse; the strict matches can punctuate it.

How songwriters use these rhymes

Why clip rhymes the way it does
Pull clip apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with the high /ɪ/ (/ɪ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close ends with a clean stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 46 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 60, assonance 7,671, and consonance 333. 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Clip works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
