Forgive me if this is a YART, but I'm new here. I really like tongue-twisters. What are your favorites? Hardest, silliest, rarest, strangest?
I like this one from Gilbert and Sullivan (actually a song, of course!):
To sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock,
In a pestilential prison with a life-long lock.
Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock,
From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big, black block.
a bit difficult:
She makes a proper cup of coffee in a copper coffee pot.
I find this one quite difficult:
The sea ceaseth and sufficeth us.
(try to say it out loud a couple of times without looking)
and silly:
Odd birds always gobble green almonds in the autumn.
