skoʊn, skɒn

(loosely, "skohn, skon")


...it's Scon not sc-own. That's just what it is. Bloody Irish, coming over here, taking our words, saying them wrong... :fist:

:joker: when I realised he's Irish...

I think you'll find it was bloody English coming over here forcing their words on us, we'll say them whatever way we damn well please tyvm :idc:

"Scorn", because I don't like them.

I just had a prune scone and a cup of coffee as it goes

:smug:

As it goes where?

doon ma throat

What did Josy say!!!

:nono:

Lets keep filth out of the treehoose

Didn't know prune scones existed, only seen cheese, butter and raisin ones before

scoan i think

See, to me, "scoan" doesn't sound like a posher way of saying it - it sounds like a Glasgow Ned trying to say "Skon".

"Aye pal I had a pure gid yin last night, a wee bottl'ae buckfast and wan a they fruit scoans. Pure magic min."

i'm dutch so maybe it is just my accent then :hee:

Yeah if you said Scon here you would sound English therefore posh :fan:

If you come from Kerry or West Cork, you would pronounce it Schkown

Lol very true

It sounds posh when an English person says it though

yes because they say

sk-ownuh

but then souther english people instead of Cairngorms say

cane gomz


:skull:

wtf is a Cairngorm?

Well a Cairngorm is a gem or

But i was referring to the Cairngorm mountains, the highest range of mountains in the UK

and on which all the snow melted this year for the first time since 2006. Normally a small parch stays all through the summer and autumn.

Hello Niamh!

Imagine if this was me who had tried to have this joke with another member, you'd have deleted that in a second, wouldn't you?

Don't bother deleting it now, we all know Greg is only joking. I'd just like to be treat the same. That's all.

Oh Alf, ffs, someone reported your post but not this one, i don't actually go round reading every single bloody post you know. Your post was deleted, you weren't infracted or even warned, is it really that big of an issue for you? :laugh:

we Orish are easily impressed.

tis far from scons we were raised

I was going to say what Niamh said Alf, your comment was probably reported, you on the other hand probably never report anything

tis true
