Shit that annoys you

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.

I grew up with all of my extended family from the midwest (mostly michigan) saying Warshington, and Salmon (but pronouncing the L).

The Michigan accent amuses me. More so now that I actually can *hear* it after 30 years of not living there.

It’s one word: Nawlins.

Have definitely heard "warsh" plenty, but can't recall ever hearing "salmon" pronounced with an L. One I've heard a few Michiganders say that I've always found strange is "ompen" for open. And of course "melk" instead of "milk."

[Ted Striker]

The old guys here say Worshington. I said ompen before we moved to the west coast and the other kids beat it out of me.

[mcphee]

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.

[Norseman]

Coworker from Ashland OR has just a slight western drawl with a few words but otherwise neutral pronunciation.

Except... he pronounces "favorite" as "favorint" with fuckn very obvious letters N and T. So strange and jarring.

[~mikey b]

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

[Mustonen]

Holeeee wahhhh. Wait til you get up nort.

[Ted Striker]

And how do you say the top of your house: roof or ruf?

I find crik and ruf often go together

[Mustonen]

My father in law gave me shit for saying ruf
And yet he said tourlet
And pizzer
And soder

He was Archie bunker. And yet I still ended up marrying Gloria.

Dialects still exist.
I find them entertaining

[Meadow Skipper]

Shoulda
Nuhwahrlins

Texans that pronounce the ls in Cerrillos (serilos) and drop the e in Guadalupe (gwadaloop).

[AlpiNord]

There are endless ways to pronounce Ouray and Vallecito, too.[emoji849]
