Why sellout rhymes the way it does
Sellout sits on the wide /aส/, transcribed /aส/ in our engine, and lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 92 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 98, assonance 3,005, and consonance 1780. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Sellout works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
