Words that rhyme with Feces
In phonetic terms, feces is a two-syllable anchor on the short /ษ/, which ends in a hissed consonant. Plain-speech words like this earn weight through context. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: perfect rhymes are not on the table, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, the slant pool is enormous on the vowel side. Take the lyric role separately and it's a workaday word. Reach for assonance first; the strict list is the safety net underneath it.

Why feces rhymes the way it does
Pull feces apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the front /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close tails through a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 279, assonance 4,828, and consonance 157. 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. 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. Feces works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
