This is problematic cause 'buck' sounds different depending on if you're from oop north or not. I say it as if it rhymes with f**k and saying 'book' like that is Bristolian tbh

So I say it like 'buck' but the northern way of saying that

Buck, but a bit different to it rhyming with 'brook' and also not the same 'buck' as when a horse bucks, kind of in between

I pronounce it like 'Luke', I'm not sure if that's the same as 'bewk'?

I pronounce some of these differently to each other Like 'brook', 'cook', 'hook', 'rook' would be the same as 'book'/'luke', but 'took', 'look' would be like 'luck'. Do you say 'food' the same as you pronounce those? ^
