Why loco rhymes the way it does
Loco sits on the short /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 7 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 101, assonance 3,551, and consonance 642. 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. Loco rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
