How about the word "water".

Most in the country say the first vowel the same way a doctor would say open up and say "ahhh". Not Philly. We say wooter.

We're weird. And we're assholes. Sorry!

I work with a woman from the Philly area and she says "water" very weirdly.

She says the first syllable as she's going to say "wood" and then REALLY emphasizes the 't' in the second part.
