      I need an example pronunciation of how it doesn’t rhyme because the only way I can hear it in my head rhymes. I’ve never heard of this name for the seating method though.

        Cross rhymes with boss, toss, moss, loss, Ross.

        Sauce rhymes with horse, coarse, force.

        So for them to rhyme you would either have to say “crawse” or “Soss”

          “Soss” is how we pronounce “sauce” and I don’t know where you’re finding the “r” sound.
