Actually it's more like "Whuter". Speaking of which...the body of "whuter" known to most as a creek, is pronounced by yours truly as a "crick". A true Pennsylvanian can pinpoint the county that I'm from by the fact that if I have one hundred of something, I'll say that I have a hunderd. A bastardization of the German ein hundert.
