Ok I don't really care but the point is you're treating a joke as if it's some weird admission

I'm confused by your comment, was it meant to be a reply to someone else?

  1. It is difficult to apologize
  2. Try pronouncing worcestershire sauce
  3. Probably relates to the video this was commented on
Jean_le_Flambeur ,

Ah okay, then i just didnt get the joke XD (propably because i find Worcestershire sauce quite easy to pronounce and couldnt find no connection of the second two with the first one) thanks for explaining though

The third point is related to this video which the comment is in response to

It could also be seen as poking fun at having to admit one's inadequacy in some regard (as some people have a really hard time admitting to their shortcomings)

ArmoredThirteen ,

I don't understand #3?

HamBrick ,

Reference to garbage time YouTube channel

@Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

As the other commentor mentioned it's a reference to a Garbage Time video

Specifically this one

ArmoredThirteen ,

They've got a bunch of great videos

Their series of vids on their Fiat 126 is gold as well

SanicHegehog ,

I hate americans it's really not hard to say at all it's literally just 3 syllables

Soulg ,

You know it's a joke right

phuntis ,
@phuntis@sopuli.xyz avatar

You're right, stupid Americans! They also don't use great words like:
Cockwomble
Snog
Higgledy-piggledy
Rumpy pumpy

Bri-ish English is the pinnacle of language if you're a muppet.

/wʊstəʃə/ 3 also where on earth are you getting a /tʃ/

gimpchrist ,
@gimpchrist@lemmy.world avatar

Worcestershire is made of two words .....Worchester and Shire ....I know how to say both of those words.. put them together and it's War-chester-Shire.. four syllables.

mate I am telling you it's /wʊstəʃə/ I am english I can guarantee by how you're saying it's pronounced you are not why are you so confident when you couldn't even point to it on the map there is no ch in there it's just a c and cester is pronounced /stə/ if you really don't believe me just go look at the wikipedia page it puts some r's in there for rhotacisation but otherwise it's the same as how I wrote it how can you be so confident while being so wrong

funkless_eck ,

a) it's Worcester not Worchester

b) the root is is wo + ceaster (the fort at Wo)

c) wo is ellided to woo, ceaster to ster

d) woo+ster = wooster, spelled Worcester

e) +shire

Voroxpete ,

Brit chiming in here, this is correct. Three syllables. And shire pronounced "sheer", not "shy-er".
