Words that rhyme with Slurry
The shape of slurry: two-syllable, vowel coloured by the tight /ษช/, ending that doesn't close on a consonant at all. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. In a song, the word is a word the lyric earns weight from by context. Behind it, the rhyme map shows the perfect column gives you just enough to start, family-rhyme territory comes up dry, and the vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from. The slant column is doing the heavy lifting; let it.

Why slurry rhymes the way it does
Slurry is built around the clipped /ษช/ (/ษช/); it's two-syllable and opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 15 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 11, assonance 1,862, and consonance 0. The empty consonance column tells you something โ the closing consonant of this word is rare enough that nothing else in English shares it cleanly. Slant work has to come from the vowel side instead. 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. Slurry rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
