Why fuzzy rhymes the way it does
Pull fuzzy apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the short /ษช/ (/ษช/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close leaves the vowel hanging open. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 5 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 8, assonance 4,318, and consonance 773. 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. 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 fuzzy, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
