Why gaseous rhymes the way it does
Pull gaseous apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the mid /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close tails through a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 34, assonance 6,695, and consonance 58. 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. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Gaseous rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
