Why fisherman rhymes the way it does
In our engine, fisherman registers as a three-syllable word on a low-front /æ/ (/æ/) that rings out through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 41, assonance 10,632, and consonance 5. 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. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Fisherman is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
