People from outside the south don't usually pronounce Mobile correctly. There are also a lot of French names that have been rednecked up. Like Riviere Du Chien neighborhood is "river do sheen" and Petit Bois Island is "petty boy island".

You should hear them struggle with “Bueche”.
“Gheens” is another Good one.
