Worcestershire
Got any wash yer sister sauce?
I pronounce it wor-chst-sher sauce. As does my friends who aren't from London but from other parts of the UK
My London boi says Woust-er sauce.
How do you get Wor-chest-er-sher to become Woust-er? How?
I understand Wor-chst-sher you just remove some vowels in the middle.
But Wouster? You just removed the whole fucking word?? Why???
I pronounce it wor-chest-ter-shire with shire being where Frodo lives.
Idk about woust-er sauce, pretty sure that's just dropping a syllable.
But the rest of it is because the syllables are supposed to be worce-ster-shire.
Brits do stuff like that. For example, the city Gloucester is pronounced "Gloss-ter"
Wustersherr
Here in my country we just call it Lizano
