Speaking of Nintendo, I always found it funny how people out East pronounce Mario as "Mary-o" lol

That's only NYC accents (and maybe NJ) afaik. Certainly not most of the "East".

(Cole)slaw rhymes with aww for me, but not ahh (that would rhyme with haha). Slaw sounds like hawk and rock without the 'k' sound at the end.

Yes, Boston.

Hawk, sock, rock, lock, walk, squawk, talk, mock. All rhyme.
Illinois and those all rhyme here too.

Whoa, I can't even conceptualise what it would sound like for 'squawk' to rhyme with 'mock'

well only the end does

the first part throws it off

I'm from MA and can't possible understand how anyone is pronouncing hawk so that it sounds different from rock. is there an extra syllable?

Oh so you would pronounce them like 'soork' or 'moork'? We use short o sounds.

the inclusion of w just makes it a different sound in those places

I don't think the difference comes from the awk part. People disagreeing seem to pronounce sock more like saak or something.
