Why managerial rhymes the way it does
To understand why managerial rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the short /ษ/, written /ษ/ โ and the ending, which flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 11 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 151, assonance 10,079, and consonance 105. 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. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for managerial tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
