Figger if I'm talking lazily, Fig-gyur if I'm talking nicely.

I do try to enunciate if I can though.

Am from the UK. So can confirm we do say Figger.

'Figger', I suppose. I've heard on American shows that it's pronounced almost like fig-your which is definitely different to how we say it.

Well, there's the proper manner, (fig-yer) then there's local dialects which are still acceptable and not technically wrong.

"Fig-yur"
As a Californian, I have been told we have no accent, or the default accent, so I think we say figure in the most natural and correct form.
