Reference to garbage time YouTube channel

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

As the other commentor mentioned it's a reference to a Garbage Time video

Specifically this one

They've got a bunch of great videos

Their series of vids on their Fiat 126 is gold as well

I hate americans it's really not hard to say at all it's literally just 3 syllables

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You know it's a joke right

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

yeah and I've heard it 2 billion times and it wasn't even funny the first time

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

You're right, stupid Americans! They also don't use great words like: Cockwomble Snog Higgledy-piggledy Rumpy pumpy

Bri-ish English is the pinnacle of language if you're a muppet.

/wʊstəʃə/ 3 also where on earth are you getting a /tʃ/

Worcestershire is made of two words .....Worchester and Shire ....I know how to say both of those words.. put them together and it's War-chester-Shire.. four syllables.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

a) it's Worcester not Worchester

b) the root is is wo + ceaster (the fort at Wo)

c) wo is ellided to woo, ceaster to ster

d) woo+ster = wooster, spelled Worcester

e) +shire

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Brit chiming in here, this is correct. Three syllables. And shire pronounced "sheer", not "shy-er".

mate I am telling you it's /wʊstəʃə/ I am english I can guarantee by how you're saying it's pronounced you are not why are you so confident when you couldn't even point to it on the map there is no ch in there it's just a c and cester is pronounced /stə/ if you really don't believe me just go look at the wikipedia page it puts some r's in there for rhotacisation but otherwise it's the same as how I wrote it how can you be so confident while being so wrong

Non native here understanding non of the above xD

  1. It is difficult to apologize
  2. Try pronouncing worcestershire sauce
  3. Probably relates to the video this was commented on
[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Ah okay, then i just didnt get the joke XD (propably because i find Worcestershire sauce quite easy to pronounce and couldnt find no connection of the second two with the first one) thanks for explaining though

The third point is related to this video which the comment is in response to

It could also be seen as poking fun at having to admit one's inadequacy in some regard (as some people have a really hard time admitting to their shortcomings)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Ok I don't really care but the point is you're treating a joke as if it's some weird admission

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

I'm confused by your comment, was it meant to be a reply to someone else?
