Why spit rhymes the way it does
Spit is built around the clipped /ษช/ (/ษช/); it's one-syllable and shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 90 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 55, assonance 10,613, and consonance 1652. 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. 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. Spit is a word that benefits from the second pass.
