Words that rhyme with Sass
Start from the sound: sass is a one-syllable word on the short /æ/, and it tails through a fricative. It's a word everyone uses — which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. Pool data: the perfect column gives you just enough to start, the family-rhyme classifier finds nothing, and the slant pool, matched on vowel alone, is huge. Its function in a song, meanwhile, is to act as a household-word. Modern lyric writing on this word lives almost entirely in the assonance pool.

Why sass rhymes the way it does
Sass is built around the front-and-flat /æ/ (/æ/); it's one-syllable and trails off into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 38 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 71, assonance 6,599, and consonance 499. 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. Sass rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
