  • How does STW pronounce "scone"

    Please help by putting to rest an ongoing debate about how this little bready treat is pronounced…
    (such first world problems)

    There seems to be two main ways:
    1) Sck-on.
    2) Sc-ooone.

    Now, the crux of the debate surrounds which of these pronunciations is deemed to be “the posh way”.

    If you could reply following the numbering above and which you deem posh & not posh, delete as necessary below, etc etc… then we can declare a winner.

    ie.
    1)Posh/Not-posh
    2)Posh/Not-posh

    Thanks Middleclass Singletrack World!

    The correct pronunciation rhymes with “own”.

    It all hinges on whether you put the cream or jam lorne or bacon on first

    Correctly.

    Oh, and if you even think about putting the jam on first, I will hunt you down and kill you to death.

    Neither are posh or not posh, I’ve heard people from all levels of society use both. I use 1. because it’s what my parents used, some of my relations use 2).

    Scoon.

    It’s near Perth.

    Unless it’s preceded by the word “Totty” in which case it’s Skon.

    Skon.

    Butter, jam, cream in that order. In an emergency (such as when the cafe supplies butter in foil wraps that have been in the fridge all week), the butter can be omitted.

    You, sir, can come and have a go, should you consider yourself hard enough.

    I pronounce it to rhyme with Stone which everyone tells me is the posh way, but I’m from the East Riding near ‘ull so it’s just a slight improvement on the pronunciation of “scurn” for me.

    Scone sounds like cone. Same letters same sound.

    Thick clotted cream then jam on top.

    Butter? Wtf?
