Bleh, you're not very nice.

Irrelevant, but my grandpa calls all French people Frenchies, Nancies, or Pussies. Hahahahaha! He obviously has some kind of grudge against the French. :roll:

This isn't a specific word from my town, but it irritates me when people from Missouri pronounce the word "Miz-er-ah." My mother and grandmother are both prime examples of this pronunciation and respond to my complaints with the notion that I'm "not native." I find it to fluctuate with generations as I'm prone to hear "Misery" elsewhere.

Kind of strange...but a pet peeve. :)
