tongue-twisters
Hard-to-say phrases
Tongue-twisters are phrases or sentences designed to be difficult to say quickly, usually because they pack similar sounds close together: She sells seashells by the seashore, Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
They're used as speech exercises and children's games.
The challenge comes from sounds that trip up the mouth when spoken rapidly.
