It's not the most weird word but certainly the most feared in the UK...”dentist”.

My dad and grandad would use the phrase “on the box” to refer to being on the sick, but that’s the only one of those I recognise.

In the Deep South my older relatives and acquaintances were taught to pronounced words such as:

chimley instead of chimney
chrystual instead of crystal
furni tour instead of furniture

I think National TV over the past two generations has helped to homogenize our pronunciation across the country.
