Why push rhymes the way it does
The phonology of push is a one-syllable core: the central /ส/ (/ส/), then it lets the line dissolve into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 2, assonance 970, and consonance 143. 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. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for push tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
