just jot down your favourite tongue twisting poems/stories/whatever, and share it to the world X)

my fav:

(chorus only, actual song is longer, but i can't remember it... :()

All i want is a propper cup of coffee
Made in a propper copper coffee pot
I may be of my jot
But i want a cup of coffee ina proper copper pot
Tin coffee pots, iron coffee pots
Ain't no use to me
If i can't have a proper cup of coffee from a proper copper coffee pot
Il have a cup of tea!

"How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"
"A woodchuck would chuck no amount of wood since a woodchuck can't chuck wood"
"But if a woodchuck could chuck and would chuck some amount of wood, what amount of wood would a woodchuck chuck?"
"Even if a woodchuck could chuck wood, and even if a woodchuck would chuck wood, should a woodchuck chuck wood?"
"A woodchuck should chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood, as long as a woodchuck would chuck wood."
"Oh shut up!"

Ten Points for the reference

I was actually just playing that. It's Monkey Island 2. Pretty much took mine with that, though.

Edit: Got one! Supposedly the most difficult one in the English language, even: "The sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick."

aha, i know a similar one to that, in Japanese!

Niwa ni wa Ni-wa
Ulaniwa ni wa Ni-wa niwatori ga iru

Niwa = garden
ni wa = there are
Ni-wa = 2 birds
Ulaniwa = back garden
niwatori ga iru = there are chikens

therefore intranslates as:

there are 2 chikens in the garden
2 in the back garden

Isn't Finnish a funny language.

This is not really a tongue twister, more of a strange word.

Hääyöaie (engl. intention for the wedding night)

How many cases you know where the only one letter is not a vowel, and the word is longer than four letters. Just to nitpick, in Finnish y is a vowel, even if it is not some languages.

Voila! In view humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the ?vox populi? now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin, van guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.
Verily this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it?s my very good honour to meet you and you may call me V.

I actually didn't get my tongue twisted my that at all. I think the V-sound is easier.

You should try memorizing it.

*claps for you* Well, I'm amazed that you could memorize that, good sir.
Anyways, this reminded me of the tongue twister scene in "Singin' in the Rain", so I looked it up. It gets better at 0:55.

And how many languages can come up with this?

Meaning "Airplane jet turbine engine auxiliary mechanic non-commissioned officer student"
