Words that rhyme with Meh
The phonetic facts first: meh is one-syllable, the rhyme-bearing vowel is the mid /ษ/, and the line tails off through an approximant. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. Pool data: there are essentially no strict perfect rhymes, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, and the vowel-only slant column is the deepest of the five. Its function in a song, meanwhile, is to act as a plain-speech anchor. Modern songwriting on this word is an assonance-first practice.

Why meh rhymes the way it does
Meh sits on the mid /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and tails off through an approximant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 5, assonance 7,670, and consonance 7. 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. Meh rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
