How do you pronounce SCONE?

[Guinness Boy]

How should one pronounce the creamy jammy treat.

Should it be scone to rhyme with CONE

Or scone to rhyme with GONE?

NSC decides.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

GONE...

don't know if that is "correct" but the other option has always seemed wankier

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

The fastest cake in the world.

 

[Silent Bob]

It doesn't rhyme with GONE, that would make it SCORN?

It rhymes with ON. SCONE.

 

[bhaexpress]

Yes, I would say cone, mind you that's how the Americans pronounce it.

 

[Guinness Boy]

It doesn't rhyme with GONE, that would make it SCORN?

It rhymes with ON. SCONE.

You pronounce Gone 'Gorn'? Are you the Queen?

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Its gone, rhymes with the way I say Scone... I did chuckle at the way the Americans pronounced it - and also most of them called it a biscuit!

"I asked the girl in dulcet tone,
'Please bring me a buttered scone'.
The silly thing has been and gone,
And brought to me a buttered scone."

My Scottish grannie pronounced it scoon to rhyme with 'Toon' (Army).
