Why cutlery rhymes the way it does
Cutlery is built around the short /ษช/ (/ษช/); it's three-syllable and doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 43, assonance 4,678, and consonance 152. 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Cutlery works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
