… I didn’t find it too hard at normal pace. Speeded up a little, it’s still ok… but really fast like you’re supposed to do tonguetwisters, nuh can’t do it :P

No. I really can’t.

Irish Wishwash is all that will come out.

No, I can’t! I have trouble with “wristwatch” by itself. Sticking “Irish” before it makes it impossible.

Ha! That’s funny.

Yes, but I have to really contort my lower jaw to say it right. Its kind of painful.

It’s not hard for me…I feel left out…

augustlan's avatar

Had to concentrate on it, but yeah. Try ‘unique New York’ or ‘toy boat’ 5 times, fast…

ha ha tiny “annunciate” thus
“And lo, the angel came to Mary and he said unto her,
Lo, a child will be born unto you and its name shall be Irish Wristwatch. Poor kid.

I can do “unique New York” without an issue. “Toy boat” turns into “toy boyt” by the fourth or fifth try. I STILL CAN’T DO “IRISH WRISTWATCH” EVEN ONCE WHILE GOING REALLY SLOWLY. Argh! hahahaha

I’m really good at P’s… I love it when someone brings up the Peter Piper tongue twister. Especially if they only know the first line. Then I get to bust out the whole thing. Once in high school during a really boring track practice, I was clocked saying it perfectly in less than 4.5 seconds.

It’s kinda sad when something like that is your “special talent” but I’ll take what I can get.

What is an Irish wristwatch? Is that like an Irish screwdriver? (you know… a hammer)
