A good Texan will add the letter “R” to words as seen fit.

Best example is Warsh:

*Go warsh your hands, warsh your hair and behind your ears.

*The warsh is flooded.

*Warshington DC, Warshington state.

I have a friend that does that!

Another word I hadn’t heard until I moved to Texas was hooptie. Up north, we called them clunkers.

And replacing some letter pronunciations with others. A friend’s wife came from Texas over thirty years ago. We have been working on properly pronouncing “Rice” ever since. We have both now pretty much given up trying, it always comes out “Ross” and she just can’t fix it no matter how hard she tries. lol
