"Did you put the clothes in the worshing machine?"

"I'm going to go worsh my car."

"George Worshington was our 1st president."

Seeing your post reminded of this.  Hadn't thought about for awhile and I'm not even sure it's common anymore.

Sometimes I listen to British people speaking and some of them (probably a dialect) throw these "r's" into words where there are no "r's". It freaks me out when I hear it. I'm like, "WTF did you just say?!?!?"

And when they try and say "aluminum", I completely go off the deep end! They say, "a-lu-min-ium". Arrrrrgggghhh!!!
