Cool doesn't sound like cul, it's sounds like coule

Ah yeah you wouldn't say the L at the end of 'cul', right? Sometimes in English people don't make the L sound in 'cool' if they are trying to be particularly cool.

Ye, it's pronounced like Q. That's why toilet paper is often shortened to pt (papier toilette) but also to pq (papier cul)
