Well, it might just be the actor's accent that is confusing then.

I seem to hear a bit of an r-sound before the vowel in trumps/charms too, so it would be more like "trom(p)s" (pronounced with the American vowel).

But as Amy said, I guess "charms" is probably what he meant to say (even though I have no idea what "athletic charms" might mean in that context).


As for Pose/Poles... I have just realized there's not much difference at all in the way I would pronounce them, LOL. They're almost the same. That's because I rarely touch the roof of my mouth when I pronounce an l-sound at the end of a syllable (so in "real" and "cool" my tongue doesn't touch the roof).

Anyway, I guess the actor's accent comes into play here as well.
