Why eggplant rhymes the way it does
Pull eggplant apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the short /æ/ (/æ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close lands on the nasal-into-stop combo. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 123 matches, family rhymes 18, additive and subtractive together 178, assonance 10,444, and consonance 256. That's a generous landscape on both axes. A song can stay in strict rhymes across a verse without repeating itself, then drop into family rhymes for the bridge. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Eggplant rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
