"The sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick."

I save this one for parties ...

The skunk sat on the stump.
The skunk thunk the stump stunk
and the stump thunk the skunk stunk.

I can say this one perfectly, even with a few drinks under my belt.  The stumblebums can not.

I'm not a pheasant plucker, I'm a pheasant plucker's son and I'm only plucking pheasants till the pheasant plucker comes.

I know. I'm a terrible person.

I'm not sure I can even type it!

That one is n-a-s-t-y.

Imagine imagining an imaginary menagerie manager imagining managing an imaginary menagerie.

Three times quickly, if you can ...

Reminds me of this fashion statement:

Red leather, yellow leather
Red leather, yellow leather
Red leather, yellow leather

I like learning foreign tongue-twisters, because they're easier to say if it's not your own language (and so doesn't challenge your sense of "normal" - so you get to impress people!)

My favourite Finnish one:

Appilan pappilan apupapin papupata pankolla kiehuu ja kuohuu. Pappilan paksuposki piski pisti paksun papukeiton poskeensa.

German:

Der Potsdamer Postkutsche putzt den Kotböser Postkutschkasten.

And Serbian:

Na vrh brda vrba mrda.

Na vrh brda vrba mrda.

That's just so wrong.

Apparently: "the willow leans out over the river" - but makes Serbs' heads explode trying to say it.

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck
If a woodchuck could chuck wood?
A woodchuck would chuck all the wood he could
If a woodchuck could chuck wood!

How much pink ink would a pink mink drink,
If a pink Mink could drink Pink Ink?
A pink mink would drink all the Pink Ink
A pink mink could drink if a pink mink could drink pink ink.

Six Stick Shifts Stuck Shut

I feel there should be sufficient incentive not to fail.

As a foreigner to the English language who can barely pronounce English words regularly, I must say that I hate this thread. You're all so evil!

Well, give us one in your native language!  Por favor

Ok, but these trabalenguas are hard. --> Traba --> Root of trabajar = to work, lengua = tongue --> Trabalengua thus works your tongue.  --> What you call tongue-twisters.

Poquito a poquito, Paquito empaca poquitas copitas en pocos paquetes. (Little by little, Paquito packs little cups in a few containers.)

Ñoño Yáñez come ñame en las mañanas con el niño. (Ñoño Yáñez eats yams in the morning with the boy.)

Pepe Peña pela papa, pica piña, pita un pito, pica piña, pela papa, Pepe Peña. (Pepe Peña peels potato, chops pineapple, blows a whistle, chops pineapples, peels potato, Pepe Peña)

Well done, Pepe!

Have someone say:

white silk

10 times quickly.  Then just before they finish the tenth one ask them:

What does a cow eat?

Most of the time people will answer:

Milk!

Only if they're as dumb as a box of rocks. Oh, wait, wrong thread!
