ENGLISH GRAMMAR: TONGUE-TWISTERS

A tongue-twister is a phrase that is designed to be difficult to articulate properly and can be used as a type of spoken (or sung) word game. Some tongue-twisters produce results that are humorous (or humorously vulgar) when they are mispronounced, while others simply rely on the confusion and mistakes of the speaker for their amusement value. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongue-twister
