Why hungover rhymes the way it does
In our engine, hungover registers as a three-syllable word on the rhotic schwa (/ษหr/) that trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 41, assonance 5,638, and consonance 310. 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. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Hungover is a word that benefits from the second pass.
