Words that rhyme with Crappy

On the page, crappy is a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word; on the ear it's a two-syllable word on the high /ษช/ that ends on an unbuttoned vowel. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. Songwriters reach for it as a word the lyric earns weight from by context. There's a deep bench of perfect rhymes here, family rhymes come up empty, and the slant pool is enormous on the vowel side. Hold the perfect column for the chorus; let the verses sample the slant columns.

Why crappy rhymes the way it does

Crappy sits on the tight /ษช/, transcribed /ษช/ in our engine, and doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 320 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1358, assonance 2,095, and consonance 0. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. 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 crappy tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ€” and often prefers โ€” the slant.
