It’s pronounced “Worcestershire”.
Well the guy that invented it says it’s “Worcestershire” so…
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.
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
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.

Worcestershire? I don’t even know her
I genuinely don’t understand why that’s so hard for Americans so say.
In revenge we invented Arkansas.
and Illinois.
I’ve heard illi noise so many times I’ve given up on correcting it.
I love how Americans pronounce “Arkansas River” depending on whether they’re in Arkansas or Kansas.
It’s not a common word for us and the phonetics don’t match the pronunciation whatsoever.
if it’s spelled worchestershire, I’m gonna pronounce it worchestershire.
I’ve been saying Worcestershire this whole time.
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.

Gammonsayswhat?
The language is called English, not Obesitese
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?
War. Chester. Fight me.
Don’t forget the shire.
