∙ 10y agoA slanted word is a word that has the same basic meaning as another, but has a more detailed meaning that gives it a emotional significance.
An example would be the word scheme. Basically a scheme is just a plan or system of organizing details or information, perhaps for future action. But it has the additional meaning of being a secret illegal or dishonest plan. But in Britain it is used to mean any plan by a large organization, especially the Government, to provide a particular service to the people or nation. "Government scheme" would be used in the US to refer to and discredit a Government plan the speaker was opposed to.
The direction of slant of a word or phrase, good or bad, can depend on who is using it, what context it is used in, other things it has been associated with, and other influencs.
In the US "states rights," because of its association with the Civil War and later Civil Rights Movement can be seen as derogatory slanted "code word" for racial discrimination. On the other hand it can be used favorably by those genuinly opposed to Federal Government over reach.
Other examples include; illegal immigrant vs unregistered immigrant, anti- abortion vs pro-life, pro-choice vs pro-abortion, sexual choice vs sexual orientation, etc. Referring to racial, ethnic, gender, and religious minorities some people refer to certain thoughts and acts as equal rights, others refer to the same thoughts and acts as special entitlements. "Entitlement" itself can be slanted especially when used in Government spending, A Government entitlement is money set aside in a law for a specific purpose, funding the Department of Defense for example, or a specific dam that mostly benefits a local area, or a specific social program. It is an entitlement because the law or ammendment usually has a Title or name stating what the money is for. Because many people are opposed to such things as benefiting a local area with general funds ( pork barrel spending or ear tagging) or are opposed to some social program, Head Start, or "welfare") they will stress Government ENTITLEMENT. Entitlement also has the meaning of giving someone a special right, not given to others because of there station in life or who they are.
Less serious slanted words are free spirit vs wild and out of control. Sloppy vs disorganized vs informal. Guess vs estimate. Hit or miss vs trial and error.
This answer is either rambling, verbous, and off topic or detailed, inclusive, and explanatory.

What words are an example of slant rhyme hear and near swamp and damp fen and feeds warm and true?
Of the pairs you offer: 'swamp' and 'damp' are the slant rime. 'hear' and 'near' is a true rime; fen / feeds, warm / true do not rime at all. In a true rime, the vowel sound and the consonants which follow it are a precise match: beat / sweet, hope / soap, grew / true. In a slant rime, the vowel sounds are a near match (any trailing consonants will normally be identical): beat / mate, hope / shape, grew / sow. You need to be careful with slant rime (most teachers aren't): sometimes a true rime in one accent will be a slant rime in a different one. Mayor / chair is a true rime in the English home counties, but a slant rime most other places that English is spoken.
