Sounds like the old St. Louis speech-island pronunciation of my lost youth.
Where are you from?

I still use the probably-obsolete "forrid" that I learned as a child,
ca.1940.

Swedish uses _bakhuvud_, the equivalent of non-existent English _backhead_
- which I would pronounce "bakkid," of course ;-) - for "occiput."
