Why greasy rhymes the way it does
Greasy sits on the high /ɪ/, transcribed /ɪ/ in our engine, and ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 10 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 145, assonance 4,935, and consonance 471. 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: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Greasy reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
