"Scoon"Apparently. (Something to do with it being named after a place whose name is spelt "Scone" but pronounced "Scoon.")
With "sconn" in second place.
My suggestion of that it was pronounced "throatwarbler mangrove" was ignored on account of it being puerile and unhelpful, and Monty was very disparaging about any individuals who pronounce it to rhyme with "cone."
