Why professor rhymes the way it does
Professor is built around the rounded /ษหr/ (/ษหr/); it's three-syllable and flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 14 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 15, assonance 10,467, and consonance 483. 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. Professor rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
