My buddy has been watching too many redneck cooking videos and calls it "warsh-yer-sister" sauce.

I like your style.

[–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 hours ago

The "worce" part is pronounced like "worse", so worse-ter-shy'r.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

No thanks! I pronounce it exactly as it is spelled

[–] ALiteralCabbage 5 points 7 hours ago

wooster, as in Jeeves and.

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.

[–] FoxyFerengi@lemm.ee 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I just like to get on everyone's nerves and call it "that british fish sauce"

[–] Aksamit@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 hours ago

You mean non-brewed condiment?

[–] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 5 points 8 hours ago

Don't forget the shire.

[–] leftzero@lemmynsfw.com 12 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Something like Woostuhshuh, apparently, for some reason. 🤨

[–] SnowmenMelt@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Americans like over pronouncing shire for all English counties until they remember New Hampshire exists.

[–] leftzero@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

It's not the shire that worries me, it's where the fuck the rces in Worcester is going...

[–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 hours ago

It's worce-ster-shire. And the "worce" is pronounced "worse".

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 10 points 10 hours ago (5 children)

I genuinely don't understand why that's so hard for Americans so say.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 4 points 7 hours ago

It's not a common word for us and the phonetics don't match the pronunciation whatsoever.

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 17 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

In revenge we invented Arkansas.

[–] odium@programming.dev 3 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

and Illinois.

I've heard illi noise so many times I've given up on correcting it.

[–] odium@programming.dev 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

if it's spelled worchestershire, I'm gonna pronounce it worchestershire.

[–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 hours ago

I've been saying Worcestershire this whole time.

[–] roscoe@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

Meanwhile in Australia: West-eh-share.

As an Australian I've only ever said Woos-ta-sheer
