    Sorry, English is my first language. What is bough? And hiccough? Am I supposed to know these words?

      Bough - think of the nursery rhyme “Rock-a-bye Baby” . A big tree branch.

      Hiccough - I believe in time we’ve just simplified this to hiccup.

        Woah. I always wondered what that meant in the nursery rhymes, not enough to Google it I guess. Thanks for clearing that up.

    There’s also the ‘ock’ pronunciation in McGloughlin

      It’s most definitely not pronounced ‘ock’ 🤨

        Sometimes it may be prounouned ‘off’, but not always
