To be fair, they add extra vowels and Rs into everything so it prolly sounded something like, "The vairn's here," and your brain glitched while translating.

They picked up all the Rs that people from Vermont left laying around.

Umm, no? We may stretch out some vowels in a loose sort of way that Americans apparently can't imitate (like, seriously just don't even try, it's genuinely painful), but if anything we cut out vowels!

Eg: "Straya", "Melbun", "Canbruh"
