Why filth rhymes the way it does
To understand why filth rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the clipped /ษช/, written /ษช/ โ and the ending, which ends in a hissed consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 62, assonance 9,065, and consonance 3. 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 the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Filth is a word that benefits from the second pass.
