Why hangout rhymes the way it does
Hangout is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the descending /aส/, then it closes on a hard stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 62, assonance 6,668, and consonance 1. 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. Hangout rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
