My boss does this and it drives me crazy. Not only does he pronounce it like that, but he accentuates it and constantly makes it the one word in his sentence that sticks out. He will give a slight pause right before he says it, then drag the word out to twice it's normal length.

Annoying.

My dad also says "Warsh" instead of "Wash". This is included in all words that use that prefix, such as "Warshington" and "Warshing my car".

Where did you dad grow up? My stepdad's from this little town in Arizona and he does that as well.

My 5th grade teacher did the "warsh" thing. One day she forgot to do it, and corrected herself. We laughed about that for years.

do you mean "halving" instead of "having"?

Nope - halfing.

Is he Scandinavian? "V" has an 'eff' sound in many Scandinavian languages.

Hmm... maybe.

no, it;s halving, not having... there is an L in it...

What if you're having a discussion with a halfling about halving your expenditures?

If a president can say nucular, I imagine a TV judge can say anything she wants :^D

Haha, I love speaking hick. Maybe because I'm not white, but I find it amusing. In addition to saying warsh, I love saying Missoura and seeing if people flinch.
