Why otc rhymes the way it does
Otc sits on the round /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and trails off into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 130, assonance 7,040, and consonance 160. 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. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With otc, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
