Okay but…what?
Entry level Polish name, simplified.
Grzegorz.
Brzhen chish chick evich.
Worcestershire? I don’t even know her
It’s pronounced “Worcestershire”.
Well the guy that invented it says it’s “Worcestershire” so…
Wooster-shire
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?
I second this pronunciation.
I do Woor-cest-er-sure.
Also northeast US but a lot less pin downable. I think of it like a slurred “war-chest” sound. But the “C” seems unused by most.
I dk where you Americans are getting the “sure” part from, it’s much more like “she-er” or if your more northern it’d be a bit more like “sher”.
Wait, Tolkien was English. He didn’t mean “Shire” to be pronounced like we Americans do it?
He did
As a standalone word it’s Shire as we say it, but put it at the end of a word and you pronounce it differently
Lancashire is lanka-sheer, for example
I hear “Were-Chest-Sure” around here.
Wash your sister.

I just saw a sign this morning that said “Irish Wristwatch - now you know you can’t pronounce it”. The sign was right.
My buddy has been watching too many redneck cooking videos and calls it “warsh-yer-sister” sauce.
There’s a British surname, Featherstonhaugh. Many of the people with it pronounce it “Fanshaw.”
We just call it wooster
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.
What’s-this-here sauce
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.
Woo shir shir shir sauce
wooster, as in Jeeves and.
Vor keester sheer
