Why spotty rhymes the way it does
Spotty is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the tight /ษช/, then it leaves the vowel hanging open. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 16 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 39, assonance 6,737, and consonance 1029. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Spotty pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
