That’s ‘bout it. (Unless you’re Canadian, no bones a boot it.)
Wonder if this is usually pronounced like a boxing bout or with the French "boo" sound.

I say boxing bout. But the people who insist on saying "aboot" when they mean "about" also talk about the boot of a guitar which leads to jokes about footwear or storage (think the boot of a car in the "other" English).

A "bout" as in a boxing match and a "bout" as in the curve of an instrument have different etymological origins even though (nowadays) they're spelled and pronounced the same.

No wait, that's not it.

That's a good point Al's making. Different etymologies could warrant different pronunciations. That said, boxing bout and a guitar's lower bout are pronounced the same in my neck of the woods. Then again, if you want to hear some weird accents, just travel around New England a bit. My ex-wife grew up in a nearby town that, unlike the rest of Massachusetts, adds "r"s rather than subtracts them. The word "father" is pronounced "farther." I am not joking.
