I've always pronounced the word "Southern" to rhyme with howthurn. I know most people say it like "suthurn" instead. I didn't realize that the way I pronounce it is considered weird until recently!

You know the famous mage from Forgotten Realms? I pronounce their name "EL-ah-min-ster"

Oh, I also have a terrible Boston accent so I nearly caused an HR incident when talking about "hooked horrors" aka "hookt ho-ahs" or as my coworker heard "hooked whores". Horror is the best word to check for a Boston accent with.
