My mother always used to say "warsh". She lived in Maryland near D.C. with my father before I was born, and she told me once that she picked up that pronunciation while she lived there. She also used to say "squarsh", and "Warshington".

Hard to believe, isn't it? They couldn't have lived there for more than 3 years.

The rest of her family were from Nebraska, and they never place an "R" into those words...but my mother seemed to get stuck on those pronunciations.
