Why dynamite rhymes the way it does
The phonology of dynamite is a three-syllable core: the gliding /aษช/ (/i/), then it ends with a clean stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 413 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 286, assonance 3,740, and consonance 1805. 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 dynamite tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
