"Correct" (per Bostonians) prounciation of some eastern Mass towns:

Peabody - pronounced "PBD" (just say the letters quickly).
Worcester - pronounced "Woosta". Townies get a big kick out of someone saying "Wor-kester"
Hingham - pronounced "Hingum"
Needham - pronounced "Needum"
Concord - pronounced "Con-cud"
Leominster - pronounced "Lemminsta"

I used to have a severe Boston accent, but now hide it well. Ocassionally I'll slip. For example, if angry, "You Stoopid Bastid"
