No. DC native. Maybe this is more a classism than a regionalism?

fyi I believe the history of this is that old words with double Fs, when written as script, the first F's fancy curli-cue "cut off" the second F's top. So the second F looked like a "T"

So the original word was "offen." I know that's not relevant to your post but just mentioning it because it's interesting!
