What are some of the weirdest pronunciations that you’ve heard for common words?

I used to work with a lady who would refer to a template as a “tamplit”.

Also, my dad refers to oil as “all”.

What are some of the weird ones that you’ve heard?

Falcuty instead of faculty. I laughed every single time she said it, and she said it a lot since her job had faculty in the title.

I've heard a lot of Midwesterners refer to milk as "melk" or eggs as "aygz".

Years ago there was a guy at work who had the weirdest speech impediment I’ve ever seen. The only way I can describe it is he kinda sounded like Forrest Gump but he mispronounced numerous words. For example, instead of saying “doughnuts” he’d pronounce it as “dognuts”.

How does one interpret “Wal-mart” as “Wal-marks”?

Also “urrrange” for “orange”
