		Linguists call this 'intrusive r' because the 'r' was never historically part of the word.
		The intrusive r is probably the result of people generalising the linking-r principle so that it fits other cases that are analogous in terms of sound.
		Rather than having a rule that says Drop the 'r' in words like 'more' and 'here' anywhere except before vowels, people who use intrusive r have a new rule which says Words that end in certain vowels like 'doctor' and 'saw' need an extra 'r' before vowels.

	Southern American English - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Intrusive /r/, where an /r/ sound is inserted at a word break between two vowel sounds ("lawr and order") is not a feature of coastal SAE, as it is in many other non-rhotic accents.
		The distinction between /ɔr/ and /or/, as in horse and hoarse, for and four etc., is preserved.
		The distinction between /ɝr/ and /ʌr/ in furry and hurry is preserved.

		Rhotic speakers pronounce written "r" in all positions (although many educated rhotic speakers omit it in French loan words where "r" is silent, such dossier).
		This so-called "intrusive R" is frowned upon by those who use the non-rhotic Received Pronunciation but even they frequently "intrude" an epenthetic [ɹ] at word boundaries, especially where one or both vowels is schwa; for example the idea of it becomes the idea-r-of it, Australia and New Zealand becomes Australia-r-and New Zealand.
		The accent of the western southern states, Texas and Oklahoma is rhotic, with sharply pronounced Rs in all positions.

	"perp" definition from Double-Tongued Dictionary
		Epenthesis is the insertion of an extra sound in a word, in this case an “r” in the word “pup.” Well-known examples of this are pronunciations of wash that sound like warsh and of drawing that sound like drawring.
		Just to be clear, the “intrusive r” of drawring is a slightly different phenomenon from the epenthetic r of warsh and perp.
		“Intrusive r” occurs in non-rhotic speech when a non-high vowel and a following vowel straddle a morpheme boundary.

		I've been investigating the "intrusive [l]" (I am mostly interested in those cases where epenthesis is arguably syllabically motivated..e.g.
		It's got some very interesting and surprisingly far-reaching implications as an example of a heretofore all-but-unknown hiatus consonant in English (not least significant of which is to call into question any non-phonologically motivated accounts of intrusive [r]).
		The intrusive L, to those who have heard it, is very similar to the intrusive R of many dialects of English (e.g.

		An r sound added to words that don't normally have them is known as an intrusive r.
		Curiously, the intrusive r is found only among speakers of non-rhotic (r-less) dialects.
		The intrusive r tends to be highly stigmatized in English.

		It's the addition of an r between a word that ends with a vowel and another that begins with a vowel, as in "America-R is a great place to go on holiday." An extreme example would be Mike Myers' English child character Simon saying "drawRing".
		Anyhow, adding a t to the end of words, which seems to be on the rise, is like the intrusive r, but apparently has a different cause.
		The intrusive r is added to ease the flow of speaking and avoid a glottal stop between, in the above examples, the final a in America and the initial i of is, or between the vowel sound of -aw- and the i in drawing.

	AUE: FAQ excerpt: Rhotic vs non-rhotic, intrusive "r" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		A nonrhotic speaker either does not pronounce the "r" at all /wV"ld/ or pronounces it as a schwa /wV"@ld/.
		Linking "r" differs from French liaison in that the former happens in any phonetically appropriate context, whereas the latter also needs the right syntactic context.
		Some people blanch at intrusive r, but most RP speakers now use it.

		Her "R" intrigued me because I wonder if its not a relic of colonial times
		But, I was talking about a word without an "r" as in "spatula".

	American and British Pronunciation Differences
		Perhaps because to pronounce the frequent ‘r’s at the end of words ending in ‘-er’ it is easier to say ‘-der’ than ‘-ter’.
		In Britain, the non-rhotic accent gives rise to linking ‘r’s, where an otherwise unpronounced ‘r’, in ‘clear’, is pronounced if followed by a vowel, ‘clear away’.
		An intrusive ‘r’ is an ‘r’ added in such a situation where none actually exists, so ‘law and order’ becomes ‘law ran order’.

		Intrusive /r/, where an /r/ sound is inserted between two vowel sounds ("lawr and order") is not a feature of coastal SAE, as it is in many other non-rhotic accents.
		This dialect is also rhotic (unlike most Southern dialects), meaning speakers pronounce "R"s wherever they appear in words.
		The Southern Appalachian dialect is, among all the dialects of American English, the one most closely related to the Scots dialect of English (see Scots language, Ulster Scots language).

		Even multiplied by thousands of intrusive searches that's a poor bet—and that assumes terrorists are too dim to adapt by, say, strapping bombs to their bodies.
		It is also rather telling that British authorities are not instituting random searches on the London tube system—a testament to the fact that doing so would be ineffective and cripple a transportation system that moves seven million people daily.
