It's pronounced "Worcestershire".
Well the guy that invented it says it's "Worcestershire" so....
Now try the Welsh name for it: Swydd Gaerwrangon.
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.
I just saw a sign this morning that said "Irish Wristwatch - now you know you can't pronounce it". The sign was right.
Woo shir shir shir sauce
Worcestershire? I don't even know her
There's a British surname, Featherstonhaugh. Many of the people with it pronounce it "Fanshaw."
Wooster-shire
I hear "Were-Chest-Sure" around here.
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?

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.
Woo-stir-shi'
Now you can
war-stir-shar
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?
