Are there any words that you pronounce in a way that seems weird to most people? (lemm.ee)

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!

I'd never heard it pronounced until recently, and until I did I mentally pronounced it as if it's a very street way of greeting Jewish people.
