My Father and Father-in-law both spoke with an old traditional Deep-South pronunciation, for example:
crystal was   chris - chaul
furniture was   furn - a - tour

Good examples of words pronounced locally. There are books written about the weird pronunciation of my (and Barbara Mikulski and Nancy Pelosi’s) home town, called Baltimorese. But some people like to bash Bush and will use anything to do so.
