People who pronounce Heroin as “Hair-Ron”

Is this a legitimate pronunciation?

Reminds me of Cunk when she asks an academic who was Ron who signed all his poems By Ron.

Didn’t Little Richard have a strange pronunciation of it?

Perhaps womyn are protesting against the patriarchy because they don't want the chief protagonist of stories or womyn who should be admired to be referred to in the same manner as a narcotic.

I know several people who pronounce it that way. They are all black. I know a former addict who doesn't pronounce it like that and he's white. Maybe it's a cultural thing.

Its probably the same people who say "here's the dil" (Here's the deal)

I'm more concerned about people who spell it "heroine."
