Not so much phrase but a regional irritation
I reside in Sunny Sheffield and some of the natives pronounce words such as Hospital and Bottle as Hospicle and Bockle. While I realise that as the immigrant I should be more accepting of the linguistic vagaries of my adopted city but I find it infuriating.

I do, however, find being refered to as a Mester quite endearing.

Not one I've really heard
But I'll not put it past 'em. I nearly had to press 888 for subtitles when I first met someone from Barnsley! That was a linguistic experience.

I live in Sheffield.
I'm currently in the process of
trying to convince people that "Ambulance"
(pronounced "Ambilance" in Sheffield)is a poor way of pronouncing
the correct term "Amblurance".

Slowly getting there......
