Words that rhyme with Insult

Why insult rhymes the way it does
Pull insult apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with a back-mid /ส/ (/ส/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close lands on a liquid-into-stop cluster. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 10 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 49, assonance 4,668, and consonance 351. 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. 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. Insult works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
