You can pronounce
-Washington WITHOUT an "R" There is NO R, people! -_-;
Actually, I don't think that OR, and WA people have different accents. We share the same lack of accent, really. Our 'r' sounds are a bit more drawn out that other places in the country, but we northwesterners actually are the owners of the cleanest spoken American English! No accent hinders the comprehension of what we're saying.
-You think umbrellas are for WHIMPS
-You only ever seem to use an umbrella as a shield from the SUN. (haha, if you see a girl downtown portland with a Japanese parasol and blue hair, that's me!)
