Why pitcher rhymes the way it does
Pitcher is built around the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel (/ษหr/); it's two-syllable and trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 2, assonance 7,076, and consonance 170. 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. Pitcher is a word that benefits from the second pass.
