Are you a fan of tongue twisters, those little alliterative sayings that are hard to say sometimes? An example I think everyone knows is Peter Piper. think they are fun, but I find them easy to say. The only tongue twister that has ever given me a problem...is one I learned as a kid watching Rocky the Flying Squirrel and Bowinkle Moose. Rocky said try saying Toy Boat 5x real fast. That isn't really a tongue twister per se, but it sure is hard to do! I can do it now because of years of practice. Do you know any tongue twisters? Feel free to share.

I never thought about it, but saying toy boat five times fast IS hard. The actual tongue twisters , the tradition famous ones, aren't hard to say. But once in awhile I find myself tripping over my tongue just in the course of regular conversation, I should probably make a note of the words being tongue twisters but just try to get past it lol.

Yes, I can tongue trip, stutter, or search for words in a regular convo too. Fortunately, it doesn't happen that often!

I find them very very hard. I am not good at them. I cannot remember them so cannot say if I know some or not.

They are words that have a lot of the same word sounds and in them that are hard to say...like She sells seashells by the seashore.
