Poll: Pronounce Troll?

[pootman]

Everyone I know pronounces Troll to rhyme with mole, but I've always pronounced it to rhyme with moll (with the 'o' as in bottle (and i know if you're from west-coast Scotland they're the same sound, but think World-Service and bear with me)).
I've no idea where i got this, and i've been this way as long as i can remember.

How do you pronounce it?
Is it a regional thing?

[nelz]

I prefer moll to mole too

I see that towy71 has already voted

[Rhakios]

Sure, short o in troll, like trolley, which has nothing to do with trolls. Trolly, would be an adjective describing 1sf.

You must just know a lot of posh, or should that be powsh, people.

[MartyBartfast]

I always pronounce it to rhyme with folderol.

[donoreo]

As in mole. Never heard anyone pronounce it any other way, not even funny talking Americans

[towy71]

I'm sure that either way is perfectly fine just think great big billy goat gruff

I haven't voted but I would go for 1sf

I've always pronounced it to rhyme with mole (or hole, as in a**hole ).

Is this also how you are supposed to pronounce 1sf?

So you look like a mole with a funny accent

Troll or trawl? I guess it's largely a matter of context.
What it is! Dig it?!

[Rhakios]

I shudder to think how Lloyd Grossman might pronounce troll.

[nelz]

But he probably sells a sauce to cook them in

[Rhakios]

It would have to be a good one, by the time you've defurred and gutted your troll for cooking, they're all gristle and bone.

[nelz]

I prefer them filleted and lightly grilled with new potatoes and a little tartare sauce
