** "Budget Air" is interesting because the subverted rhyme isn't obvious. In the version on the album ''Broken Strings'', the phrase "budget air" is used to refer to the airline, but if you think about it, the internal rhymes in the line "Ain't no use in cryin' when you're flyin' budget air" would be even better if the line was "Ain't no use in cryin' when you're flyin' Ryanair". Which is what it was when the song was originally performed on TheBBC consumer programme ''{{Watchdog}}''.

* Somewhere in "Marvel What The..." Dr. Stranges silly assistent plays the ''Name Game'' with the magic formulas. Even with "Chuck", and as you know, you shouldn't do that. Dr. Strange violently cuts him short at the end and just a hurt "-uck!" results. Rhyme (and ears of the readers) saved.

This is most often used for comedy: generally, the rhyme set up and subverted was clearly supposed to be a profanity. (If the replacement word begins the same way as the averted word, this amounts to a deliberate CurseCutShort.) It's one of the myriad gimmicks used for GettingCrapPastTheRadar, and when used this way is known as a "Miss Susie", after one of the most famous examples. Sometimes in this case the cut-off word will appear in a different context as a MidwordRhyme (The steamboat went to '''Hell'''/o operator.) Doing this is the only way to get the worse {{Bawdy Song}}s on American network television -- though of course the trope is much older than that: it's used in an Elizabethan broadside ballad about seducing a maiden, thus making it at least OlderThanSteam.
