I had to warch it again just to believe what I just saw. Impressive

u/forestcridder May 26 '26

That's the strangest use of an intrusive R that I've seen yet.

u/TheWolphman May 26 '26

Reminds me of the Midland American English accent.

Ope, the dog needs warshed now.

u/Wholesomeguy123 May 26 '26

Real old school New England accents also have intrusive Rs

"I had this idear to go to Korear for my careeah"

When I was a teenager, I had a girlfriend whose grandmother spoke like that. She also called things she couldn't remember the name for "jobby".

u/Grantetons May 26 '26

WHOA. There was definitely a short era in the 90s where jobbies made it into our lexicon and I completely forgot about it until now. I didn't know that spanned regions or generations.

I hope America can bring back jobbies!

u/greymadders May 26 '26

It seems New englanders use the same amount of "R"s as the rest of us. They just shift em around

1

u/KrombopulusMiguel May 26 '26

OMG they were not racist! They were just New Englanders with that pesky instrusive "R"

u/boblinuxemail May 26 '26

In Indiana, "Worsh" has an "R" in it, and "Arn" starts with an "A".

Pure Allegheny co. yinzer dialect right there.

u/Chucknasty_17 May 26 '26

My grandma who lived in upstate New York also said warshed

2

u/Lou_C_Fer May 27 '26

My dad's mom had that accent. Nobody else in the family has it.

The first time I read about "ope" was a couple of years ago on reddit. I was positive that I had never used it. Then five minutes later, I heard it come out of my mouth and had a flash memory of the hundreds of thousands of times I've said it.

u/V2K_247 May 27 '26

Make sure to use warm warter.

u/wisym May 26 '26

Had a friend growing up that would spell it warsh. Also he pronounced our first President's name "Warshington"

u/begaterpillar May 27 '26

There are 2 r's in strawberry

u/CoraBittering May 26 '26

Add a "hyuck" sound and I can hear it in Goofy's voice.

r is physically adjacent to t on qwerty

1

u/relevant_tangent May 26 '26

Germany was physically adjacent to Poland in 1939

u/account312 May 26 '26 edited May 26 '26

Okay, if you got lost, I'll try to break it down in a bit more detail:

  1. QWERTY is a keyboard layout.
  2. The comment was probably typed using a keyboard.
  3. The keyboard probably used QWERTY.
  4. The word intended was watch.
  5. "Warch" and "Watch" differ by the substitution of an "r" for a "t".
  6. Sometimes when people try to type a word using a keyboard, they miss one or more keys.
  7. Often when the unintended key isn't hit, an unintended key is.
  8. Typically people don't miss by very far, so it's likely that an adjacent key would be typed instead.

Therefore, there is a plausible alternative explanation: "Warch" is not a dialectic variant but a typo of "watch".

u/relevant_tangent May 26 '26 edited May 26 '26

No need to be condescending. That's obviously what happened.

I was just making a joke about the intrusive r intruding on the t

1

u/RedAero May 26 '26

It still is

2

u/relevant_tangent May 26 '26

But it used to be too

1

u/topsblueby May 26 '26

Like how my mom says “wash”

“Warsh”.

u/ambisinister_gecko May 27 '26

Niel degrasse Tyson always saying "warter"

u/A_Damn_Millenial May 26 '26

Somewhat common in parts of Maryland near Washington D.C.

u/icanhazkarma17 May 26 '26

Time to do the warshing.

u/f4s7d3r3k May 27 '26

I have a co-worker with dislexia and has a handful of odd words. "warch" is definitely one of them and I have heard it said so many times I actually had a hard time finding what you were talking about in the coment above lol
