Yeah, that's what I get for never using the preview feature. I was trying to decide whether shir or sheer was the right way to write it, so I wrote both to look at and never deleted one. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I actually pronounce it somewhat close to that. woos-te-sher...or just wooster.

When you guys write "woos" do you mean with a straight line over the oo or a curved?

GoT

[jakethebake]

like noose.

[daryn]

ok let me rephrase,

i say it:


wuss-ta-sheer

[GuyOnTilt]

like noose.

I'm pretty sure that's wrong. I think it's like book. My "uh" wasn't a good way to write it either I guess. It's a little different.

[daryn]

clearly there can be no argument about how to pronounce wuss.

you are such a wuss, man.

[TylerD]

having seen this I change my answer to

wuss-te-sheer

[GuyOnTilt]

wuss-ta-sheer

Okay, that's how I say it. I think it's probably pronounced with a "ter", but I don't say it. Like I know "celebrity" has a "bri" but I usually say "ber".

that is by far the WORST pronunciation

[Jezebel]

Damn, I guess you guys haven't heard the story of how it got it's name. A southern farmboy visited a fancy steakhouse in New York in the 1930's. When they brought him the steak he ordered they also brought him a bottle of sauce to go with the steak that was the secret recipe of the cook. The sauce didn't have a name at the time. The farm boy was so impressed with the sauce that he asked the waiter, "Whats this here sauce"? The waiter misunderstood the farmboys question because of his heavy southern drawl and thought he said it was worcestershire sauce. Hence the name. So the proper pronuciation is Whasdisheere.

[daryn]

usually stories like that are bogus

[Jezebel]

Ya reckon? Thats southern for it was a joke.

[Jack of Arcades]

That's so idiotic that anyone who believes it ought to be drawn and quartered.

[Lazymeatball]

jokes are funny

whist-a-sheer

[2planka]

oooh1 oooh! I know this one.

wuss ter shr

I'm from wuss ter mass.

surprised Toro didn't reply.

[Nottom]

Woosh-test-er ... hmm I think thats how I do.

[Ray Zee]

it doesnt matter how you say it, as long as lea&amp;perrins is the only thing you stick on a steak. if you use that a-1 stuff or something else it means you have no taste and should stay with your spam.

wus ster sheer

[Piz0wn0reD!!!!!!]

wersh-ter-sher

[Edge34]

Ray, I always had you pegged for a salt-and-pepper (and absolutely nothing else) guy. Live and learn, huh?

BTW - nothing is better than a good charcoal grilled steak with only salt and pepper. Anybody who uses A1 just doesn't know when to stop cooking the damn thing. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

If I must have sauce on a steak, it's only Lea &amp; Perrins.
