Why earring rhymes the way it does
Earring is built around the short /ษช/ (/ษช/); it's two-syllable and rings out through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 34 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 122, assonance 11,367, and consonance 75. 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. 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. Earring works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
