Why mullet rhymes the way it does
In our engine, mullet registers as a two-syllable word on the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/) that lands on a closed syllable. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 43, assonance 4,679, and consonance 355. 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. 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 mullet tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
