Words that rhyme with Lotion
You can read lotion two ways: as a word that wants concrete rhymes to ground it, or as a two-syllable shape on the mid /ษ/ that ends on a humming nasal. It's a concept-word that wants a concrete rhyme to ground it. Pool data: perfect rhymes are thin on the ground, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, and the assonance pool has more matches than any verse will use. Its function in a song, meanwhile, is to act as a word that wants concrete rhymes to ground it. Treat the assonance list as the main shelf โ the strict column is the footnote.

Why lotion rhymes the way it does
The phonology of lotion is a two-syllable core: the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 14 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 173, assonance 5,648, and consonance 939. 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. Lotion works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
