My ex asked someone in Mass one time where she thought a good place to go for a drink was, and she said "Bar Noir", but pronounced it "bah no ah". He thought she said "Bar; 'No R' " and took it to be a play on the local accent and told her how clever it was. She just replied, angrily, "YOU'RE BEING AN ASSHOLE."

"Bah, no AH!" or "you're being an asshole " is still a common response when someone asks where to go and nobody has anywhere in mind.
