Words that rhyme with Touchy
Touchy works as a household-word on the lyric side and two-syllable the high /ษช/ on the sound side โ it doesn't close on a consonant at all at the close. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. What the engine returns: no strict perfect rhymes exist in our dictionary, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, and the slant pool, matched on vowel alone, is huge. Lyric-wise, the word reads as a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word. Let the assonance column shape the verse; the strict matches can punctuate it.

Why touchy rhymes the way it does
To understand why touchy rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the short /ษช/, written /ษช/ โ and the ending, which ends on an unbuttoned vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 8, assonance 3,398, and consonance 172. 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. Touchy rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
