Why nigger rhymes the way it does
Nigger is built around the r-coloured schwa (/ษหr/); it's two-syllable and spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 25 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 8, assonance 8,553, and consonance 202. 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 the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Nigger is a word that benefits from the second pass.
