Indaws is a straight up Louisiana accent.

So are we arguing more for yes being "cloors" or "indaws?" Indaws seems to be what we're discussing with respect to non-rhoticity in England, but honestly, cloors sounds more British to me. Indaws is either Boston or deep south, depending on the inflection.

Not the way I say it, but I can see how it would rhyme for people in certain regions.

That's all well and good but as I only know of one way to pronounce all 4 of these words, and they all rhyme with each other, I'm still at square one.

To me, pours and paws are pronounced exactly the same

Yes, no difference. Apart from some people rolling their 'r's and others don't.

It's most likely region locked considering the subject. As we don't trim/cut/declaw cats in the UK

Err, there is a HUGE difference between trimming and declawing.

Thanks NFUN, chose not to read the text.

Watched it on YouTube.

I now understand the difference.

The guy in the video pronounces it like 'clars', is that representative of most Americans?

Seriously. That's like saying you don't pull out your toenails in the UK, and you also don't file or clip them.

To be fair, declawing a cat is more like pulling out the bone in your finger up to the first knuckle.

Well I owned a cat for 15 years and never filed or trimmed her claws. Probably because she was an outdoor cat so they were kept fairly trimmed naturally. I just made an assumption. I didn't mean to suggest that they're on the same level as each other.

I do, but not because of the spelling, just because its quicker to say it the first way.

I would say gangster different because of the e, not the presence of the r. In a way the r just elongates the vowel preceding it. I dont m actually hear the r at the end of a word

Based on your earlier tiff about "British English," I just assumed you were making what amounted to a "mansplaining" snarky comment.

My apologies if you weren't.

Dough-rih.

I would say that it rhymes with pour, boar, and chore, but I'm guessing that wouldn't be helpful. I stored the floorboards toward the door.
