Do you say “wash” or “warsh”? I found this article pretty interesting. I have actually heard this from both of my parent’s families. (Virginia) and my father-in-law (Washington state) I’m sorry… I meant… Warshington…🤣🤣 [How the pronunciation of ‘wash’ became ‘warsh’ : NPR](https://www.npr.org/2026/05/06/nx-s1-5805005/kevin-wash-warsh-linguistics) ---

Regional dialects are very interesting to me. One of my favorites is how do you pronounce crayon? I grew up in a “cran” household and am pretty well stuck on it. > **[Dialect Survey Results](http://dialect.redlog.net/staticmaps/q_9.html)** ---

“Cran” house also represent! My wife from New Hampshire pronounces Cabinet in a way that I always make fun of her. Haven’t heard anyone give it the same syllable structure outside of her family. I (and everyone I know down in FL) says “cab-nit” and she distinctly says “cabi-net” And I’m always like “we don’t have any cabin nets, no nets that can fit a whole cabin, what are you talking about,” then she gets mad at me, lol! ---

A lot of family members on my Italian side (Queens born) say “Earl” instead of “Oil.” It was always really weird for me to hear them say it. ---

I just started collecting Uranium/Vaseline Glass from the around the 30s. Started being mass produced in the 1830’s. Popular during the depression years the glass coloring contained uranium dioxide. This glows under UV light. I only just recently found out this was even a thing. 😃🤯🤢 ![IMG_1979](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/5/7/a57f3489637b38f9d85d2904f3970ed1d86e05c9.jpeg) ---

I have a couple of those as well, super fun! A little shot glass, a goblet, and a little bird votive candle holder. Two of them are the standard green, the shot glass one is the blue glass that glows green. ---

Not sure where they’re taking it but the 611 steamed through my back yard today. It’s one of Roanoke’s prides, built at the railworks right here in the city. My grandfather even had some sort of hand in it’s construction. ![IMG_1989](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/5/0/750a3552bc77b48cad002ad36985678e41fc34b0.webp) ---
