Worcestershire? I don't even know her
I genuinely don't understand why that's so hard for Americans so say.
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.
It's not a common word for us and the phonetics don't match the pronunciation whatsoever.
if it's spelled worchestershire, I'm gonna pronounce it worchestershire.
I've been saying Worcestershire this whole time.
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.
War. Chester. Fight me.
Don't forget the shire.
Wooster-shire
I hear "Were-Chest-Sure" around here.
My buddy has been watching too many redneck cooking videos and calls it "warsh-yer-sister" sauce.
I just saw a sign this morning that said "Irish Wristwatch - now you know you can't pronounce it". The sign was right.
What's-this-here sauce
It's pronounced "Worcestershire".
Well the guy that invented it says it's "Worcestershire" so....
There's a British surname, Featherstonhaugh. Many of the people with it pronounce it "Fanshaw."
wooster, as in Jeeves and.
Vor keester sheer
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.
It gets ‘em in the right ballpark, at least, and away from confidently saying “Wore-sess-tur-shah-yer”, so I’m good with it.
We just call it wooster
I just like to get on everyone's nerves and call it "that british fish sauce"
You mean non-brewed condiment?
Tabasco
I wonder how you spell tabasco. TABASCOooo!
