Wuhstasher Pronounced Any Other Way...

Worcestershire (/ˈwʊstərʃər/ (listen) WUUS-tər-shər, /-ʃɪər/ -⁠sheer noun
1. a former county in W central England, now part of Hereford and Worcester. 
2. a sharp sauce made with soy, vinegar, and spices; universally mispronounced

* Worcestershire sauce, first formulated in the English county for which it's named, has been around since the 1680s and has seasoned stews and Caesar salad dressing in the Davis household since the 1980s. We all avoid pronouncing it.
