I once met a girl from New Jersey who said that she never heard her home state referred to as “Joisey” until she moved to California.
She's was absolutely not lying to you. That is more a New Yorker term.
My friend brought a California girl home with him one time, and we all went to an old abandoned limestone quarry to go cliff jumping. I have never before or since heard anyone say the word "Quarry" the same way. I can't even begin to duplicate the way she said it... because "kwawr-ee" is so deeply ingrained for me... as is CAW-fee, and Wood-ur, and oh, I dunno what else.
