Why colbert rhymes the way it does
Pull colbert apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the r-coloured schwa (/ษหr/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close closes on a liquid feeding into a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 81, assonance 7,336, and consonance 10. 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. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for colbert tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
