Why opioid rhymes the way it does
Opioid is built around the short /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's two-syllable and snaps shut on a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 19 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 30, assonance 1,724, and consonance 775. 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. 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. Opioid rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
