I can hear my grandfather saying these words. He's been dead almost 5 years now. Thanks for the memories. <3

Sure thing. Did he also say "Iggles"?

I don't know. He was from Southwestern PA so he'd be more likely to say Stillers. ;)

What's interesting with warsh is that I have a friend, born and raised in Washington DC & suburbs, who says warsh. I'd love to see a map of the USA divided into "how to say wash" regions.

But Washington DC is hardly in the midwest. It's a Mid-Atlantic state.

I misunderstood what you were trying to say. My bad.

>"crayon"

My wife, who grew up out of state, taught my kids to say “cray-on” — and then the wait staff at the diner couldn't understood what they were asking for.

She also taught the kids that "donkey" doesn't right with "monkey."

Can't forget -day vs -dee. Ex: Monday pronounced as Mondee.
