Drink was taken and I insisted it rhymed with cone but SOMEONE who shall remain nameless (hi Timmy .o/) insisted it rhymes with gone and a certain AH mod agreed *cough*Micky*cough*

Sorry! Can't help. When my mother made them they rhymed with cone, when my gradmother (her mother) made them they rhymed with gone

Scone (rhymes with gone)

It's got an ó in it not an o

If it was an Irish word it would have a fada.

Scone, said like cone, makes you sound like a posh wanker (a wanker who is posh, not somebody having a posh ****)

The Backwards Man

Scone rhymes with gone. There is nothing to discuss. Only posh people and idiots call it otherwise.

Scone (rhymes with cone) urban posh way of pronoucing it

Scone (rhymes with gone) country way of pronoucing it

Scone is a place in Scotland.

A scone is something you eat.

I would have thought the opposite.
S-cone is the normal way you hear the word pronounced where as S-con sounds pretentious.

That's how a Scot would pronounce it. The proper pronunciation rhymes with cone.

Scots call a scone a scan.
