NO, I HADN'T NOTICED that I wrote "lock him up and trow away the key" until you pointed it out. I don't recall, exactly but I may have heard my Irish grandfather say that when i was very young. He had the vestiges of an Irish accent, no doubt from his mother who stepped off the boat from County Cork as a girl of 15 before she married the next year and settled in one of the smaller towns around Boston. Alas, she died before I was born so I never met her. I believe she spoke Irish though she didn't teach that to her children. I really wish I could speak it but only know a few phrases.
I won't fix it because I rather like that pronunciation in that phrase and because it bugged you enough to point it out. Eejit.
