slant rhyme

The concept of two words that are close to rhyming but don't. An author uses this when they are too lazy to think of more than one option before deciding to use it. They usually sound out of place.

I want to to be a star and rock and roll,
but the world is just too so cruel.

Was that supposed to rhyme?

It was a slant rhyme.

You stupid coon (thanks xxxxx, haven't heard that in a long time) I certainly would rather be one of those yellow slant eyes then a nigger like you,, at least those slant eyes are industrious, intelligent and have damn great jobs. Hmmm, it must really suck to be a nigger,, the only ambition you crack headed fucks have is to go out and whore for your next rock. No wait, shit no, fuck that,, I would rather be a slant eye with downs syndrome then be a nigger like you,, still be smarter and better looking. Since I am white though that makes me three times better then a nigger like you, a slant eye is only twice as good.
