FabSwingers.com forum: Do you pronounce it “scone” or “scone”

By (user no longer on site) OP

Me? It’s always been “scone” but my colleague insists it’s “scone”.

So how do you pronounce scone? Is it scone or scone?

Oh and obviously .. irrespective of whether you pronounce scone as scone or scone, a scone (or scone

) should always be jam first. That bit IS indisputable!

Scone is the ONLY correct pronunciation and I'll fight anyone who argues.

You're right about jam first though.

Don’t start me on Blue Ribands! It’s clearly Blue Riband. Those that pronounce it “Blue Riband” are clearly wrong ‘uns

This old chestnut! (And that’s pronounced chestnut, btw). It’s scone, obviously. Any maniac who pronounces it scone is clearly a sociopath and needs locking up for research.

Honestly - some people!!

Oh - and obviously jam first, despite what those weirdos in Devon might peddle as an opinion

I'm scone and J is scone. Our children are sconidextrous and say either scone or scone depending on which one of us they are taking to.

To confuse things even further, you should be trying to distinguish if it's, "scone", "scone" or "scone."

Scone Palace is near Perth. The Queen Mother lived there.

It's pronounced, "Skoon Palace!" (I think!)

This is so similar to when I was living with my ex. We used to have nice biscuits but she insisted on pronouncing them nice, rather than nice. It’s clearly nice and not nice ffs

Oh and it’s scone btw, not scone. Only heathens call them scones!
