[Closed] How does STW pronounce "scone"

The correct pronunciation rhymes with "own".

Skon

It all hinges on whether you put the [s]cream or jam[/s] 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.

HTS has it.

I say it so it sounds like cone and one

hth

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).

Rhyms with gone. Not posh.

Scoon.

It's near Perth.

Unless it's preceded by the word "Totty" in which case it's Skon.

Damn 26 seconds too late.

Rhymes with gone.

Jacob Rees Mogg washes my car.

Rhymes with on , gone & Simon Le bon

Rhymes with stone, not ston. Little rocks are not stons.

What's the fastest cake in the world?

S'gone

Skon as in rhymes with gone.

scone, stone, bone, phone, moan

The correct pronunciation rhymes with "own".

...is the right answer

FTFY

Well, that's that down and dusted then.

Whatever Binners and Ton say, it's the opposite 😛

Scon, like Gon.

Skon,

Don't care if that's right or wrong.

Yep, skon, rhymes with gone.

UNLESS talking about the place with the palace!

Like Stone.

I thought binners pronounced it Nommm, Nommm, Nommm! 😆

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.

I thought binners pronounced it Nommm, Nommm, Nommm!

Just points and grunts doesn't he?

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

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.

Well fired roll, Butter, Square slice, Tomato Ketchup. Tattie Skon.

Breakfast of Champions

Skon. Only been called posh once in my life, by a young gentleman in East Lothian.

Same as Tim Brooke-Taylor in Bunfight at the OK Tea Rooms

Skon and jam on first.
Aye,and mon CFH if yi hink yir hard enuff 😛

Aye,and mon CFH if yi hink yir hard enuff

Mon or moan?

Mon,am fi Edinburger ken. 😉

skon.

as it's just a delivery device for sugar and fat, does it matter?

The existence of this joke proves the pronunciation.

Scone sounds like cone. Same letters same sound.

Thick clotted cream then jam on top.

Butter? Wtf?

Same letters same sound

Rong!

For example;

I wound the bandage around the wound.

Whatever pronunciation comes out of my mouth first. I've pronounced it both ways for as long as I can remember, for some odd reason.

Neither are posh or not posh

This. There's a big element of geography.

Wife (Bolton) calls them scones to rhyme with own.

I (frozen wastelands of the M8 corridor) call them scones to rhyme with on.

I am clearly right here.

Scone sounds like cone. Same letters same sound.

Apart from the S of course. No desert for you.

skon.
jam and butter.

toasted.

scotland now, but from the midlans.

Apart from the S of course. No desert for you.

The question should be: 'How does one pronounce scone'

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

Only a colossal eejit would put the cream on first.

Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon. Skon.

HTH.

Like bone.

Jam then loads of cream

Butter then jam

Never butter and cream - wtaf

Ron not phone.

"shib[b]BOL[/b]eth"

Scone: Sk oo N

Ancient Capital of Alba...

To rhyme with 'gone', but I'm increasingly uncomfortable with that, and have been experimenting with the 'rhymes with bone' variation...

Oh, and it's jam first. then cream. That makes it fancy/different/special, a cake. Y'know, with cream on top.

Cream is more or less the same as butter. Cream first means you're treating the majestic scone just like a jam sandwich.

I say it so it sounds like cone and one

On what planet are they homophones?

Skon- not posh.

Scoon- posh.

To the Manx, it's "skon" although my in-laws, who are from that Yorkshire pronounce it "scone" - like stone, in other words.

skoan

Skowoane if yam from the black ****ray

When people are putting skoon, are they pronouncing like soon? Cos that's just ****ing crazy. It's scone like stone. FACT!

Plain or with fruit in?

I'm a plain scone (rhymes with stone) with jam then cream type. Butter and fruit are a big no

skon

Skon

Tattie skon

Drop skon (Pancake)

Palace of Scone. Skoon

Scoane is for some English visitors and Scots with pretensions of grandeur. Jam cream butter goes on in whatever order is available. If someone else has the jam put on cream for maximum efficiency.

My nephew's favourite joke about the fastest cake only works one way. I'm with him.

If you eat it, then it rhymes with gone. Cream is for soft southern shandy drinkers, real scones have butter and jam.

The castle rhymes with loon.

Skon ftw.

skoan an[s]d[/s] bu[s]tt[/s]er

My nephew's favourite joke about the fastest cake

Usually skon, sometimes skown. I'm Scottish, my parents are from Leeds and the West Midlands.

Jam or cream first may depend on how firm the cream is.

But is that a cake, or a meringue?
