Why throttle rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for throttle starts at the vowel โ the open /ษ/, IPA /ษ/ โ and ends where the line trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 11 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 102, assonance 7,183, and consonance 156. 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. 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. Throttle is a word that benefits from the second pass.
