Why syrup rhymes the way it does
Syrup sits on a back-mid /ส/, transcribed /ส/ in our engine, and ends with a clean stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 53, assonance 2,650, and consonance 372. 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. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Syrup rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
