I just like to get on everyone’s nerves and call it “that british fish sauce”
Worcestershire? I don’t even know her
Worstcheshire
Wooster-shire
I hear “Were-Chest-Sure” around here.
Depends on how you pronounce shire. Americans tend to pronounce it like the hobbit place when it’s more like “shuh”.
Wait, Tolkien was English. He didn’t mean “Shire” to be pronounced like we Americans do it?
He did
As a standalone word it’s Shire as we say it, but put it at the end of a word and you pronounce it differently
Lancashire is lanka-sheer, for example
I’m from New Jersey and I pronounce it Wuh-stah-shur. I think that’s reasonably correct?
I do Woor-cest-er-sure.
Also northeast US but a lot less pin downable. I think of it like a slurred “war-chest” sound. But the “C” seems unused by most.
I dk where you Americans are getting the “sure” part from, it’s much more like “she-er” or if your more northern it’d be a bit more like “sher”.
I second this pronunciation.
Does webtoon pay comic artists now? Or is that watermark there for no reason
There’s little visible name of the comic near it.
Ooohhhhh! I actually didn’t see that. so they’re on webtoons under that name?
Yeah, I looked it up before commenting.
Something like Woostuhshuh, apparently, for some reason. 🤨
Americans like over pronouncing shire for all English counties until they remember New Hampshire exists.
It’s not the shire that worries me, it’s where the fuck the rces in Worcester is going…
It’s worce-ster-shire. And the “worce” is pronounced “worse”.
OK, but what if I pronounce it better?
I genuinely don’t understand why that’s so hard for Americans so say.
It’s not hard at all. But due to the fact that stealing other people’s words and aggressively mispronouncing them seems to be the official British pastime, I don’t give a fuck how you pronounce it. I’ll pronounce it how it’s spelled, or any other way I damn well please.
There are more of us than there are of you. It’s our language now, you’re an anachronism.

Gammonsayswhat?
The language is called English, not Obesitese
In revenge we invented Arkansas.
and Illinois.
I’ve heard illi noise so many times I’ve given up on correcting it.
I love how Americans pronounce “Arkansas River” depending on whether they’re in Arkansas or Kansas.
if it’s spelled worchestershire, I’m gonna pronounce it worchestershire.
I’ve been saying Worcestershire this whole time.
It’s not a common word for us and the phonetics don’t match the pronunciation whatsoever.
You wanna level up? Try Brzęczyszczykiewicz.

please wait while I grab this electric fence
Okay but…what?
Entry level Polish name, simplified.
Brzhen chish chick evich.
War. Chester. Fight me.
Don’t forget the shire.
It’s pronounced “Worcestershire”.
Well the guy that invented it says it’s “Worcestershire” so…
Major Robert Thornbird: Our cameras saw some sort of weapon.
Jack O’Neill: Oh, well it’s hard to say.
Major Robert Thornbird: Some sort of state secret?
Jack O’Neill: No. Just difficult to pronounce.
Zat’niketel?
Indeed.
Woo shir shir shir sauce
Woo-stah-sure.
I’m from England and wouldn’t pronounce it like this at all. The “woo” sounds like you’re a ghost or something and the “sure” part is just outright wrong.
It’s really hard express through text, but I’d say “wuss-ter-she-er” (the wuss part is pronounced the same way as if you’re refering to a cowardly person), is much closer. Regional accents could make it different tho.
We just call it wooster
Woo-stir-shi’
Now you can
war-stir-shar
