That reminds me of a joke about someone calling for an ambulance because a friend was injured and incapacitated. The 911 dispatcher asked for their location, and the caller saw that they were on Worcestershire Street. Being unable to pronounce the word, they dragged the body over to Pine Street and continued the call.

Worcestershire sauce

I don't care how these people want me to say their name. Worcester is like Manchester but with wor instead of man for me.
