Why coworker rhymes the way it does
Coworker is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel, then it ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 53, assonance 2,787, and consonance 599. 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 coworker tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
