Worshed is definitely a thing in Washington state as in Worshington.
I think it was a hard scrabble east of the Cascades thing that made all the transplants think they should say it to sound local, but I don’t really know.
Crick, creek, worsh, wash, New Awwwlins. You better be really fucking genuine and it roll right off your tongue with a bunch of other dialectical oddities or you look the fool.
power outage at the hospital I work at yesterday
the surge when it came back on appears to have fried the main circuit boards on both treadmill EKG machines
that’s fucking convenient
You'd think that a hospital would have things on surge protectors. :DQuote:

As someone who’s cradle to the grave midwestern, I’ve never heard ompen.
Or….maybe I just can’t hear it….oof
I'm certain it came from my mom - born & raised in WI. I was born in Chicago, but didn't stay long enough to get the accent.Quote:

Except... he pronounces "favorite" as "favorint" with fuckn very obvious letters N and T. So strange and jarring.
for some dumb reason I say “crik” instead of “creek” - I don’t even know how or where I picked it up but there it is

Texans that pronounce the ls in Cerrillos (serilos) and drop the e in Guadalupe (gwadaloop).
There are endless ways to pronounce Ouray and Vallecito, too.[emoji849]
