Words that rhyme with Foodie
The shape of foodie: two-syllable, vowel coloured by the singing /iห/, ending that opens out at the end. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: strict matches show up in low numbers, family rhymes come up empty, the assonance pool runs into the thousands. Take the lyric role separately and it's a workaday word. Use the assonance pool freely; the ear treats most of those matches as rhymes.

Why foodie rhymes the way it does
The phonology of foodie is a two-syllable core: a tight high-vowel /iห/ (/iห/), then it leaves the vowel hanging open. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 18 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 137, assonance 3,566, and consonance 836. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. 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 foodie, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
