It's not a common word for us and the phonetics don't match the pronunciation whatsoever.

War. Chester. Fight me.
Don't forget the shire.
Something like Woostuhshuh, apparently, for some reason. 🤨
Americans like over pronouncing shire for all English counties until they remember New Hampshire exists.
It's not the shire that worries me, it's where the fuck the rces in Worcester is going...
Wooster-shire
Depends on how you pronounce shire. Americans tend to pronounce it like the hobbit place when it's more like "shuh".
I'm from New Jersey and I pronounce it Wuh-stah-shur. I think that's reasonably correct?

What's-this-here sauce
I just saw a sign this morning that said "Irish Wristwatch - now you know you can't pronounce it". The sign was right.
Does webtoon pay comic artists now? Or is that watermark there for no reason
There's little visible name of the comic near it.
Ooohhhhh! I actually didn't see that. so they're on webtoons under that name?
Yeah, I looked it up before commenting.
There's a British surname, Featherstonhaugh. Many of the people with it pronounce it "Fanshaw."
