[barry1010]

How do you say it?  To rhyme with cloth or both? 

[naomi24]

Rhyme with cloth. 

[Toorak]

I would say to rhyme with cloth

[elliemay1]

To rhyme with 'both'

[-SharonA-]

Sloth - broth

[brainiac]

Bernie Ecclestone's grandchild might know....

[barry1010]

I say it to rhyme with loaf if I am talking about the animal, but I say slothful go rhyme with cloth.  It's got that downwards, slow, dull sound that goes so well with the meaning

[barry1010]

Thanks, bookbinder, it is still interesting that some of us say it differently. That synthesised voice seemed to be saying it with a very long, drawn out ah which I've never heard before 

[Lie-in King]

To rhyme with "both".  Collins gives that for British English & to rhyme with "cloth" for American English.

Doesn't make it gospel, though.

The Cambridge dictionary recognises both pronunciations in UK English but only one of them in US English:

[douglas9401]

These days it rhymes with Lewis.

[Spicerack]

I usually sa....zzzzzz.

[Vagus]

I say it the opposite to you barry but have always been unsure how to properly pronounce it.

[William51]

Both.

[Cloverjo]

They're both correct according to Chambers. I pronounce it to rhyme with cloth.

[davebro3]

maybe both if refering to the animal but cloth if referring to idleness?

[Prudie]

So barry you say it sloaf rather than sloath?
