What's a regional pronunciation of a word that seems normal to you but is weird to people from other parts of the country? (lemmings.world)

Here "bus" is pronounced like "buzz" and I didn't realise it was weird until I went down to Devon and it was a dead giveaway that I'm a Brummie lol

NY state has a town named Chili that is pronounced—I kid you not—with two long I's. "Chai-lai"

There's also a town named Charlotte pronounced "shar-LOT".

I feel like these are tests to detect out-of-towners.
