Why fitzroy rhymes the way it does
In our engine, fitzroy registers as a two-syllable word on the /ษษช/ diphthong (/ษษช/) that doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 27 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 125, assonance 381, and consonance 0. The empty consonance column tells you something โ the closing consonant of this word is rare enough that nothing else in English shares it cleanly. Slant work has to come from the vowel side instead. 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 fitzroy, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
