Ok... Ok... I got this,
Its never off the shelf at chez Abo... would be badly depressed
if it or its more oniony cousin Lancashire sauce was not there
to put on my snakes... delicious!
The spelling is misleading... So just say "woost" (the double "O" as in book) "er" as in "to er is human"...
the last part is a bit tricky as it depends on the nurture of the Mother-lander
saying it... your average soul from Worcester pronounces the last syllable "Cher"
as in Cherilyn Sarkisian... woost er Cher!
However if our speaker was an English aristo', from, say, Buck Palace;
the last syllable is slightly different... the pronunciation laying some where between
"Cher" and as it is spelt "shire", sounding something like "shear" as in shearing sheep.
Woost er shear!
How I know this is a long story, so, don't ask.

Thanks for the lesson, mate. I’ve always pronounced it as you say, except to say the last syllable as “shyer.” My wife says, “war Chester”. I wonder how many different ways it’s pronounced.

Psychologists agree that the three hardest things for a person to say are:
1. I was wrong
2. I’m sorry
3. Worcestershire Sauce
1. I was wrong
2. I’m sorry
3. Worcestershire Sauce

Yeah. The English language can be confusing. 
A friend was talking about going to "Va-LAY-sha" NY. I didn't know what he was talking about because the town is spelled "Valatie." There's no accounting for pronunciation.

I lived near Schaghticoke, NY and during one snow storm an obviously new newsman tried to indicate that the schools in Schaghticoke were closed. It was quite amusing. I am sure the folks who live there got a good laugh and did not go to school.
