Why fluoride rhymes the way it does
Pull fluoride apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the open /aษช/ diphthong (/i/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 407 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 254, assonance 3,790, and consonance 1082. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. 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 fluoride tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
