Words that rhyme with Copycat
On the page, copycat is a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word; on the ear it's a three-syllable word on the flat /æ/ that closes on a hard stop. Plain-speech words like this earn weight through context. Two readings: as data — the strict-rhyme column is bare, the family-rhyme classifier finds nothing, the assonance pool has more matches than any verse will use; as lyric — a household-word. Let the assonance column shape the verse; the strict matches can punctuate it.

Why copycat rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for copycat starts at the vowel — a low-front /æ/, IPA /æ/ — and ends where the line lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 116, assonance 7,204, and consonance 1. 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 copycat tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives — and often prefers — the slant.
