Every time I've heard 'sauce' said by an American, it sounds just as it does here. Same as 'source', same as in the UK. Never heard anyone say 'soss' before.
Now I'm even more confused by this.
Source does not rhyme with Horse or Morse, it does rhyme with Course (and also Hoarse.)
Loss rhymes with boss, toss, etc.
Sauce has a longer vowel sound but it's still much closer to rhyming with Loss than it is Source. Longer vowels don't insert Rs.

Yeah scotish people do pronounce it a bit weird, used to work in a chip shop and scottish tourists would always ask for salt n sarss on the their chips

Source does rhyme with those words. They're slant rhymes, not perfect rhymes.
Sure, I should have been clearer. I meant perfect rhymes, which is also what I assumed that post meant.
I can't think of anywhere in Scotland that adds an r in the pronunciation of Sauce. You sure they were Scottish? Because that's weird even by Scottish pronunciation standards.
Source rhymes with all of those and sauce does in fact rhyme with loss for most people in the US
That doesnt rhyme at all. I got the loss part but who pronounces Sauce in that way? That's dumb
Most of the US.

Of course they were scottish salt n sauce is a scottish thing to ask for for a start, it was a very long time ago though so my exact recollection of how they pronounced the sauce may now be off but it was definitely a bit weird
Well for me if I was trying to be understood it'd sound like soss, if I was speaking normally it'd be sass (like sassy without the y). Never heard a Scottish accent that'd say sarss but there are plenty of accents tbf, might be a weird local dialect that I haven't heard yet!
Was thinking that as well haha

This is bullshit.
Salt and Sauce is not a Scottish thing. Those fuckers were from Edinburgh, the only god forsaken city in the country to not ask for salt and vinegar on their chips.
"Source" and "sauce" have two distinct pronunciations. Neither word sounds like the other.

A bit weird but fair enough I suppose.
I just thought of Sausages, maybe we're wrong after all.
They are not interchangable sounds
except they probably are in some words because the English language is a disaster.
Also I think the fact more time in this thread has been spent discussing the pronunciation of Sauce than the shitty meme it's about shows how terrible this marketing campaign masquerading as a meme is.

The meme isn't really funny. Inherently all you're doing is finding two objects/characters that rhyme and putting one on the other. Like the Goku and tofu one, alright great but what's the joke? The only remotely funny ones are where the meme implicitly insults or makes fun of one of the characters, eg the PewDiePie one is only funny because you realize they're calling him a Nazi.

I live in England where the main language is English. 33 years and I've never yet heard anyone say 'soss'. But sure, let's go with American English pronounciation because reasons.

Have you singled out Boston as your main test location? Sauce is soss. No R sound unless you have an accent (e.g. Boston).

but the entire thread is people saying americans are doing it wrong. americans say soss. why is this hard
I have never heard anyone pronounce "sauce" like "source"
I'm from the US. I've never heard anyone say "sauce" like that. I've never heard anyone add an R sound into sauce.
That's exactly the point. Memes are the lowest form of entertainment. Anyone can do it.
Only in the deep south
I wasn't feeling this meme but now it is redeemed.

In the US, sauce definitely rhymes with loss.
I drove my Brit counterparts in Afghanistan crazy with word pronunciation. The best was Jaguar...they would be legitimately pissed.

You guys say it like jagwar right?
I can't stand the American pronunciation of Jaguar. It's one of the few remaining brands England still has, and you fuck up the pronunciation of it.

So that's why all these damn kids say
sauce?
sauce?
instead of source, which still doesn't make sense because they are the almost the same so just use the correct word.
Is this also why so many type looser when they mean loser?
