Words that rhyme with Weapon
Weapon works as a word the lyric earns weight from by context on the lyric side and two-syllable the open /ษ/ on the sound side โ it rings out through a nasal at the close. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. Two readings: as data โ no strict perfect rhymes exist in our dictionary, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, the vowel-only slant column is the deepest of the five; as lyric โ a plain-speech anchor. Use the assonance pool freely; the ear treats most of those matches as rhymes.

Why weapon rhymes the way it does
To understand why weapon rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the open /ษ/, written /ษ/ โ and the ending, which rings out through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 56, assonance 11,460, and consonance 26. 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. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for weapon tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
