Why destroyer rhymes the way it does
Pull destroyer apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 5 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 2, assonance 504, and consonance 0. The empty consonance column tells you something โ the closing consonant of this word is rare enough that nothing else in English shares it cleanly. Slant work has to come from the vowel side instead. 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 destroyer tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
