Why crass rhymes the way it does
To understand why crass rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel — the short /æ/, written /æ/ — and the ending, which lets the line dissolve into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 39 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 71, assonance 6,599, and consonance 499. 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. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Crass reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
