Or anywhere else with British/English pronunciation knowledge.

How would one say Botox?

Is it 'bo' as in 'boat' (boh-tox) or 'bo' as in 'bought' (bott-ox)?

I came across both pronunciations today and I'm curious which one is correct.

What part of the UK are we talking about? Quaint northern barbarism, Welsh bestiality, drunk Scotsman, drunk Irishman, or stereotypical south?

I've heard both but I tend to use "boh-tox". The latter sounds like "buttocks" to me.

Are we north of the wall, or south of the wall? Are we in the fens?

Are we on the Island of Mann?

I think I'm saying "boh-tox". In reality I'm saying "booooh-tx".

"Bo" (as in "boat") - tocks (rhymes with clock.) Never heard it pronounced otherwise in any of the many places I've lived or visited here. Still a chance some people say it otherwise but I'd certainly go with the first pronunciation you mentioned.
