Why economist rhymes the way it does
In our engine, economist registers as a four-syllable word on the short /ษช/ (/ษช/) that spills into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 87, assonance 7,949, and consonance 2. 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 economist tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
