Tongue Twisters

Note to moderator: This thread would fall under "Other FanFictions (Not Stories)" I think.

A conversation on the Lexicon Forum about Snape's S's got me thinking about the whole idea of tongue twisters. S's work well for them, but see if you can come up with ones for a variety of characters. I'm not very clever, so I'm only going to post one.

Snape snares sorcerors snoring soundly.

Try to say that 5 times fast without saying "snorcerors." :-p

This is one of my own: Hairy Hagrid's Horrendous Hippogriff-Hippocampus Hybrid.

Istari, I so absolutely love it. I actually posted so that my post was right below your twister, but for whatever reason, it's not showing up. Maybe I forgot to hit "Post Message"?

Anyway, I laughed so hard when I read it. I tried to read it out loud to my husband, but got my tongue all twisted up. It took me 2-3 tries to get it out!

Here's the revised version...

Pesky pixie Pinky pinched Pastor Percy Pasley. "Peskipixie pesternome!" Pastor Percy pleaded.

Pesky pixie Pinky pestered Pansy's pink pickle pizza pieces.

Pansy pushed Pesky pixie Pinky pleading "Please don't pester pink pickle pepperoni pieces!"

Pastor Percy Parsley prayed "Please! Peaceably place pizza pieces perfectly."

Pesky pixie Pinky painted Pastor Percy Parsley paisley. Pansy panted "Peskipixie pesternome!" Pixie Pinky parted. (Whew! ^_^)

*Laughs*   Think it's hard to say? You all should have seen me trying to type it!

Wait, Liz, is English your primary language? If not, your skill to say that is even more impressive!

Ticker, the answer is a la the three Stooges: "Soitenly!"

Yes, it is my first language. And, actually, I tried saying that lot again and I can't now! Maybe I'm just trying to say it too fast.

Just out of curiosity, who on here can say the Peter Piper one?

Ticker - May 28, 2003 1:34 pm (#28 of 82)

(Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk)

I only know the first line - because that's all I could ever manage to say straight (usually).

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.

A peck of picked pepper did Peter Piper pick

If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper

How many pecks of picked pepper did Peter Piper pick?

Try saying all that really fast!

My God! I just came back to this thread and I can't say them anymore! The first one Pinky posted was cool! I did actually say snorceror instead of sorcerer! And I was only saying it in my head.

Sabotage - Feb 23, 2004 1:02 am (#41 of 82)

I don't like stickers. They are too sticky for me. I'm always scared that the glue will get all over me and make me stick to the walls. Even the padded walls. I could use a bit of Sickles though Ticker. *rubs fingers together*

Anyone know the Betty Botter had batter with butter one???? I've heard it but I can't say it.

As for Harry-related:

Snuffles snuffed it so sleekily. No, that's too mean for all you Sirius fans out there, let me try again.

Hermione has heavy handbags and hinkypunks. That's better.

I thought of this one, not very original, but I thought of it when I was reading this sentence, or something like this sentence, in OP: "Snape said sleekly". Well the only part I couldn't get was sleekly. Try it, say 'sleekly' five times fast!

Okay, these are a few little phrases that I've come up. It's just my first time, so I'm sorry for any stupid ones.

Voldemort’s world (try to keep the 'v' sound and the 'w' sound different)

Peter Pettigrew pattered Potter

Petunia ate tuna

Dudley Dursley dusts dirty jerseys

Severus Snape’s several servile servants

Dumbledore’s door

Neville will never live (Ohhhh... please... *don't throw tomatoes*... I really hope he will....)

Rita Skeeter’s skating teacher

Fawkes foxed socks - okay I know this one makes no sense... it was just three words that seemed to go together!

Dobby’s odd body.

Do tell how they are.... they'll obviously be different for everybody's lips!

I was playing with Aria this a.m. & noticed she had a bell, a bunny & a bug. When I went to say the names I found that she was actually playing with a bell, blunny & blug.

bell, bunny, bug, bell, bunny, blug, blell, bunny, bug, bell, blunny, blug, blell, blunny, blug. dang.

This one's not particularly funny but when I learned french as a teenager we had to say things like "666 sausages are so expensive" ... er ... that's

six cents soixant six saucissons sont si cher.

at least, if Alzeimers hasn't set in that's what it was.

Just read this thread for first time (I know, I'm a bum ... but a very busy bum) and these are hilarious. kudos to you all.

Here is one that some asked for earlier on this thread, not potty related but it is the only one that I can say

Betty bought some butter, but she said "this butter's bitter! But a bit of better butter will but make my butter better" So she bought some better butter, better than the bitter butter, and it made her butter better so 'twas better Betty bought a bit of better butter!

Ok here is another one that is tough to understand let alone say!

When a doctor falls ill another doctor doctor's the doctor. Does the doctor doctoring the doctor doctor the doctor in his own way or does the doctor doctoring the doctor doctors the doctor in the doctor's way?

Here's the answer: The doctoring doctor doctors the doctor the way the doctoring doctor wants to doctor the doctor. Not the way the doctored doctor wants to be doctored.

I will try and think of a good HP related one really soon

Perfectly precocious pink and purple pixies pestered poor professor Perse, poor professor Perse pursed pink lips at perky purple pixies.

I love that doctor one, and it makes perfect sense to me, but I'm a confusing person and I understand confusing things because confusing things aren't really confusing to me. Except for science. That's confusing. See, this is confusing, but it isn't a tounge twister, but it makes sense:

When he was over there he said he was over there but when he got over there he said that when he was over there he said he was over there, even though he really said he was over there when he was over there.

We came up with:

One of my favorite tongue twisters also is a limmerick:

A tutor who tooted the flute

Tried to tutor two tooters to toot.

Said the two to the tutor

Is it harder to toot, or



To tutor two tooters to toot?



For an additional challenge, use "high English" with the "u's" so tutor is pronounced "TEEuter" and two is "TEEew" and flute is FLEEute.(at least, this is what my one acting teacher said was proper....)
