What’d you call me?
…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?
Yep, but they were spelling it phonetically and I just wanted to point out that their syllables are wrong. I think once you realize “worce” is one syllable, the pronunciation makes a lot more sense.
I like your style.
No thanks! I pronounce it exactly as it is spelled
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.

Worcestershire? I don’t even know her
War. Chester. Fight me.
Don’t forget the shire.
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.

The language is called English, not Obesitese
Wooster-shire
Depends on how you pronounce shire. Americans tend to pronounce it like the hobbit place when it’s more like “shuh”.
I’m from New Jersey and I pronounce it Wuh-stah-shur. I think that’s reasonably correct?
I second this pronunciation.
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”.
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 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
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.
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.”
