Scoon, scoene and scohn.
There are three ways people say it! I say scohn myself, My man says scoene. I know of nobody who says scoon...

SCOHN
Is the only way to say it, otherwise it ruins the joke.

Are we talking about one of the elements of a cream tea
or a town? The town rhymes with stone and the tasty thing rhymes with gone.

The town does not rhyme with stone
It rhymes with soon.

Good thread
It's pronounced to rhyme with cone, or bone, or lone, or loan.

You are incredibly wrong
It's pronounced to rhyme with gone, or con, or don.

There is another way. As a kid I called them scorns.

Everyone knows...
Scone is pronounced to rhyme with 'gone' or, simply, 'on'.

Anyone who disagrees is wrong.

That is all
