Worcestershire? I don’t even know her
I just saw a sign this morning that said “Irish Wristwatch - now you know you can’t pronounce it”. The sign was right.
Woo-stah-sure.
Wuss-Tuh-Sher
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
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.
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.
There’s a British surname, Featherstonhaugh. Many of the people with it pronounce it “Fanshaw.”
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.
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.
Wooster Check Shire.
There, its wrong according to everyone.
it’s* wrong
Wash your sister.

Does webtoon pay comic artists now? Or is that watermark there for no reason
There’s little visible name of the comic near it.
Woo shir shir shir sauce
My buddy has been watching too many redneck cooking videos and calls it “warsh-yer-sister” sauce.
War. Chester. Fight me.
Don’t forget the shire.
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?
