New Yawk accent?!  Nah.

I grew up around Los Angeles and now live around Phoenix, and without any
exception I've observed, folks here pronounce "orange" to exactly rhyme with
"door hinge".  I've occasionally heard the "bar hinge" variation, but always
associated it with "east of the Rockies" dialects...y'know, people who say
"Oil" is a man's name, and "Earl" is a lubricant.  ;)

Enlighten me.  I'm a strictly "west of the Rockies" kinda guy.

New Jersey is a dividing point for aar-inge/oor-inge in my observation.
South and west, they say oor-inge. From the central part of the state,
and north and east, it's au-ringe or aar-inge as you head north and west
(even to the northern midwest and plains states)

I can't believe my dumb ass joke is causing this much attention....
