There’s a band of “r” coloring (”Rhoticism”) about 50 miles wide North to South that stretches from Baltimore to the Rocky Mountains ~ just listen to it when someone says “wash” (as in Warshington) or “squash” (as in Squarsh).

Don’t forget “earl” as in “I’m going to change my car’s earl”.

Frrrrreegarrrrrds

"..just listen to it when someone says “wash” (as in Warshington) or “squash” (as in Squarsh)."

OK..so explain the southern "woah-man" vs women. It gets puzzlinger and puzzlinger. I'll go get my Saturday morning cup of java and leave you to solve the worlds mysteries. Life is so easy with a Muawiyah around. :)~
