Why soc rhymes the way it does
Soc is built around the round /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's one-syllable and tails through a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 64 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 88, assonance 5,721, and consonance 617. 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. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Soc reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
