What's the toughest tongue twister you know?
Asked by: Briquetaverne from Paris, France
At an early age I had to learn certain tongue twisters in remedial speech classes. Some were funny, others pure nonsense. I always remembered this particular tough one though, because it relieved me forever of the "Z" sound that I'd used, instead of the "Th" sound for certain words.

Try saying it just for fun, THEN AFTERWARD PLACE YOUR OWN AS A RESPONSE TO THIS QUESTION:

Theopholis Thissel, a succesful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieveful of unsifted thistles, thrust 3000 thistles through the thick of his thumb.

See that thou, an unsuccesful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieveful of unsifted thistles, thrust not 3000 thistles through the thick of thy thumb.
