You CT folks also pronounce Worcester as "Wooster" so I'm not listening to a goddamn word you say.


Theres a Worcester in Massachusetts, and it's pronounced "Woostah". Don't think there's one in Connecticut.

How do you pronounce Worcestershire sauce?

There is little that makes me happier than taking drugs. Perhaps administering them, designing and carrying out experiments that bend the plane of what we consider reality.

Both ways are correct because the inventor spelled it both ways.

Even as someone who's only vaguely familiar with England, Essex does not sound all that lewd to me.

Wait until they find out about Sussex

And Middlesex.

All those place names come from the Saxon migration around the 3rd or 4th century. They carved out a big chunk of southeast England and the area was named after them. So you had the East, West, Middle and South Saxons, which became Essex, Wessex, Middlesex and Sussex. There was also a North Saxon, but it's no longer on the map. They called it Nosex and nobody went there any more.

Actually Sussex is a very modern name indeed. Its etymology stems from the extraordinary talent among the regional populace to figure out what gender people are, a skill which was largely unknown worldwide all up until around the naughties.

Surely this skill dates to the Queen's assumption of the throne?

I was confused as a kid because I heard Wooster (Worcestershire) and Rooster (Siracha) used at times.
