I'd love to hear someone pronounce pork and talk in a way where they rhyme because I sure can't picture it.

- lupire 3y agoHi, shawn_w: Pronounce the or in pork and the al in talk like the aw in shawn.
- shawn_w 3y agoI can see /park/ and talk rhyming with a transformation like that (like a Boston accent), but the o in pork is a completely different sound. Going from pork to pawk isn't something I can wrap my tongue around.

- jdietrich 3y agoAs luck would have it, "pork" and "talk" are rhymed in the first verse of Ian Dury's superb song This Is What We Find. I suspect the rest of the lyrics will only add to your confusion, unfortunately. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKoh1J84uCU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKoh1J84uCU
- pcthrowaway 3y agoAround 25 seconds for anyone interested. My Canadian ear somehow corrects the "pork" and "talk" so that they still don't quite rhyme (though they're certainly close enough for slant rhyme) I hear the "r" in pork even if it's less audible than it would be in my English. And the "a" in talk sounds a little more like the "a" I'm familiar with from talk than the "o" in pork does.
