Why subsidy rhymes the way it does
The phonology of subsidy is a three-syllable core: the tight /ษช/ (/ษช/), then it opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 29, assonance 5,090, and consonance 0. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century.

With subsidy, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
