Worcestershire is NOT hard to say you guys are just bad

People shorten Mayonnaise to Mayo but there is no shortened form of Worcestershire, which is way more laborious

wus-ter-shuh

where does the shuh come from?

odd british pronounciation

Wait a minute

I’m only noticing now that I’m not supposed to divide the syllables like “wor-ces-ter-shire” and compress the “ces” into an s at the end of wor, but instead divide it as “worce-ster-shire”

Forget garden path sentences, this is an entire garden path word on its own

yes yes “worse-ster-shire” is exactly right
