Why roxy rhymes the way it does
Pull roxy apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the tight /ษช/ (/ษช/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close ends on an unbuttoned vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 8 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 107, assonance 6,798, and consonance 310. 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 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. Roxy is a word that benefits from the second pass.
