"All right, now let's talk about pushed R drops which is a little bit different from just our dropping Rs. This is words that have an O sound followed by an R, like in the word, like I'm holding up how many fingers? I'm holding up four fingers. So you've got the O-R sound in "four". Four. Words like that, you're going to drop that R and you're going to create a W sound, so it becomes "fouaw". No more R, W. "Fouwa", "cowa", "gowa", "wowa". "She wowa a black dress." Okay? When you have the O sound right before an R, drop the R and create a W. Let's try some examples."
