Tongue twisters

There’s a bit of a debate as to what the most difficult tongue twister is.

Is it ? :-

a) The sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick

b) Pad kid poured curd pulled cold.

Say both 5 times and what do you think ?

Just for fun, trace the alphabet on the roof of your mouth (palate) with your tongue. It tickles but it may help those who suffer from anxiety. 😃

Yes I got the words muddled with a).

I like the swans ones. Thank you.

I’m always amazed at rappers, their human brain's speech planning process is pretty immense.

I found a) much harder Narwhal10. But that's not to say that b) was easy!!! 😃🙄 Love the rabbit pic!🐇🐇🐇

A, I can’t even say that slowly, must be because I have a lisp 😔😬

I'm rubbish at both, as I am with

She sells sea shells by the sea shore

and

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper

(not entirely sure I've got that second one right: feel free to correct me)

and

Betty Botter bought a bit of butter

But the bit of butter Betty Butter bought was bitter butter

Betty Botter bought another bit of butter

Better than the bitter butter

Betty Botter bought before

(not convinced I've got all the words right: it's what I remember from school - and that's a loooooooooong time ago)

I know one but I'd better not tell as it might offend, especially if attempting after a few drinks! Pretty rabbit, is it yours?

It is a cute rabbit (one mine) but thought it appropriate as Cockney rhyming slang to rabbit and pork - talk 😂
