Why flask rhymes the way it does
Flask sits on the short /æ/, transcribed /æ/ in our engine, and lets the line dissolve into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 7 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 91, assonance 6,616, and consonance 70. 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 practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for flask tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives — and often prefers — the slant.
