Why gutted rhymes the way it does
Pull gutted apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 7 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 44, assonance 4,317, and consonance 251. 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Gutted works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
