    Darn.... I thought by the name of this thread that it was going to be a really rude one :-)

    Being from the classy city of Manchester where you get a free Chav with every bottle of netto washing up liquid, I say Scone as in, Rhyme with gone.

    I always thought it was just where you come from which affects how you say it...

    I'm from Wiltshire and I say bus but my boyfriend is from the Midlands and says buzz...

    Re:Talking with your mouthfull

    What intrigues me is when we pronounce a group of letter differently depending on the word.

    We say 'laughter' as 'larfter'

    We say 'slaughter' as 'slorter' - why not 'slarfter'?

    Why is Worcester, 'Wooster'? and Towcester, 'Toaster'?

    There are many others; look many is menny, why not manny? :shock:

    It's a Monday thing, I'll skulk away now.

    Re:Talking with your mouthfull

    It's more a regional thing. I'm from the home counties, so I say scone to rhyme with bone. Unless I'm doing the 'fastest cake in the world' joke.

    As for bath... I take a bath (long 'arr' sound), but call the city Bath (short 'a' sound). I do the same for the 'a' in Newcastle for some reason.

    Tooth should have a long 'ooo'- tuth is just wierd.

    Bus should have hard 's' sound- like glass. But it's a short 'u'- buss not boooss.

    So is buffet (as in food) buff-ay or boof-ay?

    Re:Talking with your mouthfull

    I live near Bristol and they say "tooth" as tuth" but the "th" sounds like "ff", it's sounds a t bit like "tough", it's all down to the way you blow the word out :lol:
    Scone = gone
    Bath = Bath
    Bus = hey, what's a bus????
    PS I'm not from bristle so the accent do get I sometimes.... :lol::lol:

    Re:Talking with your mouthfull

    One of my colleagues just pointed out that I say 'photograph' with a long 'arf', while she says it with a short 'aff'. But we both say 'photography' with a short 'aff' sound.

    When I used to live oop north, the turn of phrase that confused me most was using 'while' instead of 'to' or 'until' when giving ranges of time. As in "this shop is open nine while five".

    My favourite Cornish dialect word is dreckly (ie directly) - used in the phrase 'I'll do it dreckly'. It has a similar sense to mañana but without the degree of urgency.

    Someone at work doesn't say get, bet, set - just git, bit and sit.

    Aye, but I am from leafy Surrey, and I was brought up to say the same - Scone/gone.

    New one to add to the debate.

    "Information." Is it in(-formation) as in "in" or in(-formation) as in "nymph"?

    This is slowly bugging me more and more, but more and more people go with the latter. Tut.

    Re:Talking with your mouthfull

    Do you mean nymph-or-may-shun rather than in-for-may-shun? I may be guilty of that, so I shall redouble my efforts to enunciate the 'in'!

    The one that bugs me is when people say 'pacific' when they mean 'specific'.
    Or put a k at the end of 'something'- as in somethink or, worse, summink.

    I hate it when people use ''literally' instead of 'virtually'

    Re:Talking with your mouthfull

    Can't do with twennie instead of twenty - especially the top twennie on TOTPS.

    My other 1/2's family always say "on the street" as in "I met him on the street" instead of in the street. And a "clout" was something you washed dishes with ie a cloth. Yorkshire dales for you!

    My father in law (pure Dalesman) once tried to give directions to a southerner and I nearly fell about laughing - he had no idea what he was saying, never mind trying to follow them :lol:

    Re:Talking with your mouthfull

    Literally and Virtually in my eyes are two different meanings....

    One day, paddy was walking down the road when he slipped and fell into a bee hive and rolled into a pile of dog poo.

    Paddy goes home and sees a friend so paddy tells him what happend..

    "Max, I was literally rolling in poo"
    "Max, I was virtually rolling in poo"

    Virtual is something beyond the realm of reality, therefore in the above 'virtual' sentence it should be understood as "Max, I was almost rolliong in poo" whereas the 'literally' would be more true: "Max, I was literally rolling in poo".

    I do agree with the summink, i really cannot stand the cockney accent - sorry you guys, every time I hear a cockney, it automatically reminds me of Kat Slater from Eastenders and I just want to smack her with a box of chinese death stars coated in balsamic vinegar and crush sea salt.

    I'm still not grasping the debate on 'Information'...
