Some of my family is from Detriot, Michigan, and they pronounce “wash” “warsh.” It drives me insane to hear then say things like “I need to warsh my car!” or “Do you want me to warsh the dishes?”
My husband’s grandmother pronounces it warsh and calls the couch the davvy (davenport). God help us if something spills on it and she has to warsh the davvy. My head will as-plode.
Not to worry, I think Mr. or Mrs. Point misses the point entirely. No need for you to be confused, and for heaven’s sake don’t go to your mommy if you’re confused. Never ever.

Better to laugh over nonsense now and then than to spend all one’s time crying over the state of the nation and the world.
I know a few guys from Maine and Mass that take ‘r’s out of some words and put them in other words. Like the grandmother above they say things like “I was in Olympic National Paak in Warshington”. Maybe this is an Arby’s in Mass so it’s not really a fail!
My god, I hate it when people add random “R’s” to words. My grandmother says “warsh”, and my mother says “torlet” instead of “toilet”. THERE ARE NO “R’s” IN THOSE WORDS!
I was going to say something similar, except that I’ve noticed it’s more of a Canadian thing. Of course, parts of Detroit are only separated from Canada by a few hundred yards, so may the Detroitites picked it up from them.
Although, I know a guy who lives in Texas and is from Texas and he pronounces it the same way. *shrug*
I’m thinking they had Star Wars playing the previous week from 10-4 and that they were to lazy to switch out all the letters.
Either that or they are very country
Pittsburgh, PA to be exact.

They just spelled it how it’s pronounced.
Seriously.
Can’t be. The Pittsburghese spelling is “worsh.”
As part of a compound noun:

I had to read it three times before I caught the fail. My brain failed me(!)
Yee-haw! I’m a goin’ to the car warsh!
I was thinking West Virginia, but I guess it’s connected. Same accent.

Perhaps this Arby’s is located up north.

I think someone has missed the point of this blog altogether.
Ah well.
I had to read it twice to realize what it said ….. curse you, accent!

Dernit! I followed the guidelines for blockquoting! grrrr.
Going to reattempt with the way I think it should be coded:

(fingers crossed)
I give up. No more of that for me.
Oh wait. I think I see.
I think you just type in this. < blockquote >
Text goes here. < / blockquote >
Just remove the spaces. I wonder why the instructions say to use a different format which doesn’t seem to work. Odd.
Despite my already intense misgivings and traumatized embarrassment, I’ll try once more using that format:
Huzzah! Thank you.

Don’t they know the r is invisible?

Stupid me, I thought the fail was that you’d go inside Arby’s to watch people wash cars.
They’re southern, they have their own language.
