If you told those Californians how to pronounce it, they would just think it
was another Canadian idiosyncrasy like "What are you talking a-boot?"

It reminds me of Canadian Bacon:
*RCMP Officer at Headquarters <http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0942833/>*: I
don't know what you're talking aboot, eh?
*Kabral <http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0638056/>*: Aboot! It's ABOUT! And
what's with this 'eh' business?
*Roy Boy <http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0640413/>*: [*pointing a gun*] We have
ways of making you pronounce the letter O, pal.

Incidentally, that movie is hysterical to re-watch in light of the US
Department of Homeland Security and such.
