Linguistically and grammatically, the correct spelling and standard pronunciation is 'drawer', derived from the verb 'draw' meaning something that is pulled out. However, in many regional dialects and colloquial speech patterns—particularly across parts of North America—it is commonly pronounced as 'droor' due to a phonetic phenomenon called r-insertion or vowel merger. While dictionaries and formal writing recognize only 'drawer' as the correct spelling, the pronunciation 'droor' is widely accepted in casual, everyday conversation.
