Worcester Mass gets mutilated the most from what I've heard.

Isn't it "Wooster"? I thought there was a separate town in MA named Wooster but the first google comes back with is Worcester's city page. I think people pronounce it "Wor-chester". I was born in Springfield but moved away when I was a wee tot.

wuss-ter

also if you're from worcester you evidently pronounce it wiss-ter

wooster and worchester are completely wrong and nobody from around here says those
