Why dangerous rhymes the way it does
Pull dangerous apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with the open /aส/ glide (/aส/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close ends in a hissed consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 192, assonance 6,720, and consonance 0. 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 dangerous tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
