Worcestershire? I don’t even know her
War. Chester. Fight me.
Don’t forget the shire.
We just call it wooster
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.
English [Simplified]
Gammonsayswhat?
The language is called English, not Obesitese
if it’s spelled worchestershire, I’m gonna pronounce it worchestershire.
I’ve been saying Worcestershire this whole time.
In revenge we invented Arkansas.
I love how Americans pronounce “Arkansas River” depending on whether they’re in Arkansas or Kansas.
and Illinois.
I’ve heard illi noise so many times I’ve given up on correcting it.
It’s not a common word for us and the phonetics don’t match the pronunciation whatsoever.
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?
Wooster Check Shire.
There, its wrong according to everyone.
it’s* wrong
Wuss-Tuh-Sher
…ain’t nothin to fuck with?
Wooster shire
Wor-chess-ter-shy-'r.
The “worce” part is pronounced like “worse”, so worse-ter-shy’r.
Isn’t it not more sha than shy’r?
I like your style.
No thanks! I pronounce it exactly as it is spelled
What’d you call me?
wooster, as in Jeeves and.
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.
Woo-stir-shi’
Now you can
war-stir-shar
My buddy has been watching too many redneck cooking videos and calls it “warsh-yer-sister” sauce.
Americans hate this one simple trick
Meanwhile in Australia: West-eh-share.
As an Australian I’ve only ever said Woos-ta-sheer
How would you say Loughborough?
Lou ga bo ro gah?
Low-bra
Wash your sister.
That bitch can wash her self
