Does it rhyme with "gallops"? Or is it more like "pal shops"? And does this differ between the US and UK?

I only learned what it meant today, but I pronounce it rhyming with "scallops."

This is really more an issue of where you accent it than how you pronounce it, right?

In any case, I really hope someone here is French enough to answer that it's pronounced a bit like "shalom"

I think the question is whether the "o" is pronounced as "uh" or "ah," and that accenting is a separate question, though the "ah" leads to more of an accent on the second syllable.

which is a great name for a band, the skull ups, but not how you should be pronouncing scallops

You bet!
If you ever say the word 'challops' out loud, you are probably a bozo.

I've got a few of my friends saying it which I'm pretty pleased about

but I say it scallops and I think they say it special ops :(
you def need to say "ops" to connect it back to the word "opinion" but already I realize I am thinking too much about this topic and am ashamed

Hm, seems like I was actually in the minority in mentally hearing it as rhyming with "pal shops"
