Why tobacco rhymes the way it does
Tobacco sits on the short /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 5, assonance 6,651, and consonance 685. 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. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Tobacco reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
