Why embarrassing rhymes the way it does
To understand why embarrassing rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the clipped /ษช/, written /ษช/ โ and the ending, which hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 9, assonance 12,837, and consonance 10. 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. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With embarrassing, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
