Americans like to call Worcester Whore-chester or War-sister.

Although it could be counted as an Americanism, as there's a Worcester in Massachusetts.

I'd personally consider that to be the closest. Especially if you were really excited about coming here. I usually pronounce it Woos-ter or Wuss-ter.

Yup. that's right. An acute accent on the "e" makes it into an "ay" sound.

Touché, awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

No - it should be 'too-shay' (or thereabouts...)

She said touch (as in prod, fondle, feel-up) -ay.
