When I said that is how it was said where I was from - I'm from Pittsburgh. My father said Warsh. My mother was Canadian and made sure we didn't speak like we were from Pittsburgh. So I like to say that Pittsburghese is not my native language, but I am fluent in it. If I had that accent, I'd do anything to lose it, as I feel it is about the worst accent in this country, and I've heard nearly all of them. Though I feel I must add that there is no city like the 'burgh, I love it still!!
