TONGUE TWISTERS

Post your best ones here! I'll start it off by giving the worlds official hardest one: "The sixth sheik's sixth sheep's sick" ack!

I give you points just for spelling tongue correctly.

A skunk sat on a stump and thunk the stump stunk,
but the stump thunk the skunk stunk.

Stebbi Stóð á ströndu
var að troða strý
Strý var ekki troðið
nema Stebbi træði strý

(ð = th) try it... [img]smile.gif[/img]

I tried until I got to ströndu -- translating that into strthdu made my tongue quit.

Here's mine (and it was made into a song back in the 60's):

I'm not a pheasant plucker
I'm a pheasant plucker's son
And I'll sit here plucking pheasants
Until the pheasant pluckers come

Another variation uses figs instead of pheasants.

Say it half a dozen times really fast. But not near anyone who is concerned with your language....

it's not "strthdu"... just strondu... hope your screen displays the diffrence between ð and d

Bungleau · 03-02-2004, 12:04 AM

Ahhh... I see. I mis-took ö for ð.

Okay, trying again... I make it through the first two lines. Then I think I'm swearing in (n)Icelandic [img]smile.gif[/img]

Part II

"I am not the pheasant plucker,
I'm the pheasant plucker's mate.
I am only plucking pheasants
'cause the pheasant plucker's running late."

Bungleau · 03-02-2004, 10:35 PM

I've not heard that verse before, Inja. Gonna have to try it a few times to see who does what to whom [img]smile.gif[/img]

I have one

"Betty bought a bit of butter, but the butter betty bought was a bit bitter, so betty bought a better bit of butter, better then the butter betty bought before"
