Spotted "furriner" (i.e., #foreigner) in #Marvel #Avengers c1966, implying a pronunciation maybe like [ˈfʌɹ.ɪ.nəɹ]. Reminds me a lot of the #SouthPark "they took our jobs" joke. There's a clear #enregisterment happening here, though I'm not sure it's for a real #English variety as I don't specialize in English #vowels. Any ideas?

This is the first time I've come across such clear #enregisterment of #southern /ɔː/ (compared to /ɔj/) via the word "boy" being applied as an #identity.

A recent #Simpsons episode had a good example of #enregisterment of the #southernvowelshift in #Texas: https://youtu.be/yqZ3nyYUwsY
