    The only people I've ever heard say warsh are people from Appalachia....Namely folks from KY, WV, and Western PA.

    Underdog- The Pittsburgh area and nearby Eastern WV have a colorful dialect, my former sister in law is from the Pittsburgh area. She would catch herself calling a sack a 'poke', engrained dialect is stubborn.

    Listen to clips of Mike Francesca. Cannot miss it. He was BORN in NY.

    at 4:19 (sarw) When he is more relaxed, it is more pronounced.

    FPD. I think you're hearing something that isn't there. I listened 4 times, I don't hear sarw, I hear saw.

    He isn't a caricature though. Like most accents it varies, sometimes the Rs are enunciated, sometimes he drops them entirely.
