Scon, sconey, scon, scon
You hear scon and you hear scone but scone was the way I was brought up
Scon, scon, scon
Now I live in the south it's pronounced scon, when I was in the North it was pronounced scone.
Definitely scon, it's a Scottish word and the Scottish pronunciation is scon, it's only the English that say scone
Scone, init, scon, scon, no you can't say scon
You're swinging both ways here
No, I know I'm a Liberian I sit on the fence apparently
Scone, scone, it's got the e on the end
No it's scon, I'm from Newcastle and people say scon
And it's posh there to say scone isn't it?
It's unexceptable to say scone, unless you want to leave town very quickly or get laughed at
So what would actually happen to you if you said scone in Newcastle?
People would go: Uwww
If it was scon it would need two 'n's
Hmmm
