Scone? S-con? S-cone?

[ladiesman217]

Dunno where or who or why or how the fuck I stumbled upon this but anyway... A map of how 'scone' is pronounced between the UK and Ireland was published on some social media platform thing (whatever social media is, this is as close to social media as I get I tells you!). Anyways, it's a battle between the pronunciation of scone as like 'cone', or 'gone'. Most of Ireland (excluding Northern Ireland) was primarily 'cone' while the majority of the UK was 'gone'.

Why gone though? Why not just use 'con'? Cone and con? Where the fuck you finding this g from like? Idiots! You never heard of the word con before??

S-cone

S-con

S-gone

WHY???

Anyways how do you pronounce it? I don't think I've ever actually heard anyone in Ireland ever pronounce it like s-con. Not even once. Always s-cone, myself included.

I expect to be thrown at a 45 degree angle across the bed, thunder rumbling out through my nostrils with one leg dangling down one side of the bed at 1am!

Just once it'd be nice if one of my threads could actually manage to stay relatively on topic without descending into utter plutonic shit, at least for one page!

I blame myself.....................

You'll need to stuff a burger and cheese into one if ya want me to eat one.
I was told in the posh restaurant I worked in many moons ago they were scones ( like phones ) not Shgonens like a savage might say.
Used to get it wrong purposelessly just to piss off the toffs.
