Just based on how often I notice someone mispronounce a word without realizing it (or have done so myself and realized it later). Statistically I’m probably still doing it with some word.

Worcestershire
I believe it’s pronounced “wstr”
Close, that’s Worcester. Worcestershire is “wstrshr”!
Wuss-ter
Wuss-ter-sheer
The whole word is silent
sauce?
That one isn’t silent
And nearby Leominster
And Cirencester
and Towcester (“toaster”)
Map Men have a few more examples
Sern Stir?
It’s pronounced “siren sester”.
“-cester” is usually pronounced “stir”, I’d assume then “Sir In Stir” if I got the first part wrong
Lemon Stir

Wash your sister sauce
There’s a Worcester in Massachusetts, local pronunciation rhymes with sister (which is in turn said like “sista”)
