Its job in a lyric is a word everyone uses, holding down whatever line it lands in. What rhymes with stuffing?

Why stuffing rhymes the way it does
Stuffing is built around the short /ษช/ (/ษช/); it's two-syllable and trails through a nasal hum. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 9 matches, family rhymes 2, additive and subtractive together 54, assonance 4,453, and consonance 29. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Stuffing pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
