The great scon con

[caddyman]

To compound my earlier dietary forays, I have now eaten scones¹. With butter. Maybe later I shall eat more with clotted cream and strawberry jam.

I have my Remagel tablets at the ready.


¹The ones I eat rhyme with stone, cone and phone. They're better than those that rhyme eponymously with con.

"Scon con" -- isn't that the dance where a bunch of French wimmin in frilly skirts throw said skirts around while doing leg flips?

I also hereby announce that I shall call them Scanes. If Wrath can be wroth, then scones can be scanes. I still can't decide if that's a long or a short A though. "Skaynes" sounds like I'm trying to be posh, "Skahnes" sounds like I'm trying to be American, and neither is entirely true.

Per'aps Ai should call zem "ser-connes" viz ze French aksent. Zut alors!

As I am uncertain of the correct pronunscuation (but do prefer "scoan"), when it comes up in conversation I always pronounce it contrary to whatever the other person says. But then I would, wouldn't I...
