It’s pronounced “Worcestershire”.
Well the guy that invented it says it’s “Worcestershire” so…
I just saw a sign this morning that said “Irish Wristwatch - now you know you can’t pronounce it”. The sign was right.
There’s a British surname, Featherstonhaugh. Many of the people with it pronounce it “Fanshaw.”
We just call it wooster
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.

Now try the Welsh name for it: Swydd Gaerwrangon.

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.
