Why naked rhymes the way it does
In our engine, naked registers as a two-syllable word on the short /ษ/ (/ษ/) that shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 287, assonance 6,002, and consonance 24. 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. Naked works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
