Okay, it's sad that we have all these school shootings lately, but really? Is the world REALLY coming to this?

FLORENCE — Police in Florence say a 38-year-old man is charged with beating another man at a motel with a sauce bottle and a fire extinguisher.

Police say John Milton Littrell of Florence is being held at the Lauderdale County Jail on $6,000 bond on charges he attacked a 43-year-old Florence man who was returning to his motel room.

Officers say that as the man opened the door to his room Wednesday night, Littrell hit him on the head with a bottle of Worcestershire sauce, then grabbed a fire extinguisher and hit him on the head and face.

Officials at Eliza Coffee Memorial Hospital say the victim was treated in the emergency room and admitted to the hospital, where he was listed in good condition.

impromptu poll:

how do you pronouce Worchestershire sauce

i've heard "WOOSTERSHIRE"

and i've also heard a pronunciation with approximately 78 syllables...

good times, this word.
 
I live close to Worcester, MA. Locally, people prononce the city as "woo-sta" and this is accepted regionally in this dialect. The word, "Worcestershire" creates a conundrum for the local dialect, however. Particularly among the less literate.

Another city, Gardner, follows its own rules. It's pronounced "gad-na" in the regional dialect, however, those that are from Gardner will pronunce it "gad-na, hey".
 
Misleading title. He attacked the man with a bottle of woshtercehshire sauce. I was expecting him to actually squirt the liquid into the mans eyes.

So it wasn't the sauce he was attacked with, it was the bottle.

LOL... you just made my day.

I'm not from MA but have lived here for 5 years. It took me FOREVER to get use to trying to say that word. I always thought people were saying "Worst-ah". Every time I'd try to say that word, I'd, of course, say "Wor-chest-er" People would crack up at me and correct me, every single time!

I still can't figure out why people here add an "r" in places where one doesn't exist, and remove an "r" from a word that clearly needs it. Took me at least 2 years to get use to people calling me "Lees-er" 😀
