Tongue Twisters

Betty bought a bit butter
But, she found the butter bitter
If I put it in my batter
It will make my batter bitter
But a bit of better butter
Would make my batter better.
So she bought a bit of butter
Better than her bitter butter
And she put it in her batter
And the batter was not bitter

That made me feel odd just reading it. I'll have a try from the horizontal position later in the evening.

Red lorry-Yellow lorry sounds very simple but try saying over a few times!

I've tried that an didn't get far so then tried meeting two suggestions into:-

Red lorry, yellow leather, red leather, yellow lorry........

That was a mistake.

You're producing the unpronounceable, Barrie.
Which in itself might be the start of a tongue twister methinks.

The butter one above is a bit different to the one from my childhood.

Betty bought a bit of butter, but she found the butter bitter, so she bought a bit of better butter to make the bitter butter better.

Simpler too.

That's the one we had as well, Pudsey Bear. Thanks but I'm still not good with it.

I'm not the pheasant plucker, I am the pheasant plucker's wife,
and when we pluck together, it's a pheasant plucking life

Why break the habit of a lifetime now, Barrie?
Go on - enjoy yourself, a tongue twister needs you!

How about a little Irish brogue - without even trying. Try saying, WHALE - OIL - BEEF - HOOKED a few times over. A real twist on a tongue twister.

 

[teejay]

No-one up for brushing up on their brogue? How disappointing!

Denise sees the fleece,
Denise sees the fleas.
At least Denise could sneeze
and feed and freeze the fleas.

Never seen it before and don't plan to try that one again anytime soon, Chris! At least not until my tongue has recovered.
Thanks,

I'm not good on a keyboard at the best of times, teejay. And now the 'u' key is working intermittently. No, really! I was suffering all morning with it. I'm wondering if I can prise off the key and have a clean underneath it.

Try saying these solicitors firms' names quickly. Norfolk and Chance. Suffolk and Watt. How could they fail with names like that?
