[<woz>:]

You said it would rhyme with <Oz>, which is to say it
would be pronounced like standard <was>.

No. <Oz> is [Az]; no common U.S. pronunciation of <was> has
[A].

You're mad, sir. "Was" and "Oz" are a perfect rhyme.
(Whatever symbol you choose to use to represent the
vowel.)

They aren't. It isn't the Wizard of Uz. It *is* 'we wuz
robbed'.
