Do you think it’s like the name Polly without the y?
No. It’s pole.

Pole. London - RPish accent.

Eltonjohnssyrup · 31/01/2018 09:23

Pole. Remember the 'pole tax riots? Not the 'poll' tax riots.

Lookingtothehighlands · 31/01/2018 09:24

Definitely rhymes with dole not doll

Ifailed · 31/01/2018 09:25

Pole to rhyme with dole
Poll to rhyme with doll

FiveLittlePigs · 31/01/2018 09:25

I say dole for doll too.

Roll, roll, doll, poll are all the same pronunciation to me.

scaryteacher · 31/01/2018 09:25

I don't think it's pole, but poll. Different 'o' sound. You might say 'pole' as in polling station, but the poll of your head is pronounced differently. More like Polly without the y as a pp said.

FiveLittlePigs · 31/01/2018 09:26

Second roll was toll before autocorrect got hold of it Blush

Thehairthebod · 31/01/2018 09:26

It's pole.

SoupDragon · 31/01/2018 09:28

Another pole vote. South Londoner.

YesILikeItToo · 31/01/2018 09:28

I don’t poll my head? What word are we taking about hear that might be pronounced to rhyme with doll?

TwitterQueen1 · 31/01/2018 09:29

Definitely pole

4strikes · 31/01/2018 09:29

I’ve never heard it pronounces any other way than pole.

ObiJuanKenobi · 31/01/2018 09:30

I say Pole.

If it's pronounced Poll as in troll is it also a polling station? I'd say pole-ing station too.

UnimaginativeUsername · 31/01/2018 09:30

I’ve never hear anyone pronounce it any other way than pole either.
