Why olympics rhymes the way it does
Pull olympics apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with the short /ɪ/ (/ɪ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close spills into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 58, assonance 13,154, and consonance 0. 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 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. Olympics is a word that benefits from the second pass.
