Never seen Space Jam and never want to.
Space Jam is bad, but I wanted to provide a sort-of funny reply that denied basketball was actually a sport, and it’s laaaate
Not here it isn’t! 
I am tired everywhere!

I grew up on a street called “van Ruijsdaellaan”. That was always fun to hear other Brits pronounce. And my school was in Scheveningen - which was apparently a shibboleth during WW2, right?

Astonished this thread has got this far without ‘Scone’.

(Who on earth would rhyme scone with cow, though?

You have no idea how long I spent trying to make that phonetically clear. I just gave up in the end. It’s actually quite tricky!

I think we usually just say ‘rhyming with gone’ / ‘rhyming with cone’ when this comes up.

Changed it now…
But ‘cone’ would pander to the wrong pronunciation. Hence my dilemma…
Anonymous?! Show yourselves cowards, etc.
Do people really like cones more than gone?

Surprised at so many ‘sheds’ as I have always felt alone in my holding onto the outdated UK pronunciation.
Oh right now I have to change my vote. Basically I say Mario the English way not the Italian (?) way of Nintendo titles.
Asking people to pronounce “Scheveningen” was a way of catching out any Germans masquerading as Dutch trying to infiltrate the Resistance.
