Isn't it 'WORST-er-sure'?
Worcester in Massachusetts is generally pronounced with a vowel that sounds something halfway between the “oo” in “wood” and the “u” is “run”. And since Massachusetts, there’s no R in sight. “Woosta”/“wusta”.
This is pretty similar, just with a “sher” sound on the end.
So.....'WOOST-a-sher'? Hmm....interesting! Thanks! :)
There a short run show on Netflix called Kevin Can Fuck Himself. They are from that area and say the name a lot.
