Can someone tell me where the hell "warsh" came from?
Last time I checked "wash" didn't come with a R

I pronounced "wash" as "worsh" in fifth grade, once, and was mocked by my teacher for doing it - I've been a stickler on the word ever since. My parents get pissed when I correct them on little things like that, but I can't help but do it.

My dad always says the word "growing" like "groin." And my mom always says "stupid" like "stoopit." Pops is from D.C., moms is from NY.
