I grew up in Maryland, and my wife thinks it's funny that I say "wooder" and "jimmies". I always thought it was something I picked up from my grandmother since she was a pre-school teacher and tended to pick up pronunctions from her students. Another word that my wife thinks is funny is "woorsh" instead of wash.
