Words that rhyme with Lynching
Treated as a word the lyric earns weight from by context, lynching is also a two-syllable sound-shape on the high /ษช/ โ one that lets the nasal carry the tail. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. Songwriters reach for it as a quotidian anchor. Perfect-rhyme territory is narrow, family-rhyme territory comes up dry, and the vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from. The slant pool is huge enough that you'll never need to repeat a rhyme.

Why lynching rhymes the way it does
To understand why lynching rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the tight /ษช/, written /ษช/ โ and the ending, which rings out through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 5 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 38, assonance 10,580, and consonance 9. 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. 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. Lynching works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
