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 101 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 98, assonance 3,001, and consonance 1780. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. 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.
