Words that rhyme with Privacy
On the page, privacy is a common-tongue word; on the ear it's a three-syllable word on the clipped /ษช/ that ends on an open vowel. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. The word arrives in song as a workaday word. Search rhymes for privacy long enough and you notice the pattern: the strict-rhyme column is bare, family rhymes come up empty, and the assonance column dwarfs the others. The slant column is doing the heavy lifting; let it.

Why privacy rhymes the way it does
Privacy is built around the tight /ษช/ (/ษช/); it's three-syllable and doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 138, assonance 3,062, and consonance 27. 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. 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. Privacy rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
