Phrases that are impossible to say!

[Sherrystrull]

Every time I go into the chemist I get completely tongue tied trying to say
'I'm here to pick up a prescription' and it comes out all wrong!

Does anyone else have daily phrases they just can't seem to say?!

Just one in French: "autour du coup".

*cou

Metropolitan or municipalality always gets me 🤔

Misogynistic

I can't seem to say 'I'm here to pick up a prescription ' either, OP! It's all the Ps, I can't say them in quick succession. I've tried changing 'pick up' to 'collect' but still end up messing it up!🤣

I just say - a prescription for KangarooKenny, and they get it for me.

Crab linguine

I'm at a hotel at the moment and I kept saying cwab linguino

Or is that the gin??

I also cannot say confidentiality or Japanese 🤣

In work I have to say "no acknowledgements required" quite a lot.

I can say it properly if I speak really slowly but at normal talking speed it all goes to hell and comes out all jumbled up.

Weirdly specific one, but words with an s either side of a letter

Crisps, for example

If you are Scottish then purple burglar alarm.

You can call it a script if it's easier. A lot of people can't get the words out properly and we have a giggle.

Omeprazole is the name of a popular medication that no-one seems able to say correctly either.

I am restarting c25k and get in a right old mess with 'week one run one'. Rs and Ws all over the place. I recall a pp long ago on a similar thread who couldn't say 'flower-arranging' without sounding like an angry Jack Russell and that's stuck with me!

Just go for a yellow one. Job done.

Words that I've read several times but have rarely or never heard spoken are the biggest culprits for me. I end up stalling while I try to come up with a synonym (which I've just discovered I also can't pronounce out loud) to avoid mispronouncing the more appropriate word.

I also struggle with these (which I have had to say several times).

Thames Tideway Tunnel
Left bundle branch block or LBBB for short but I end up coming out with too many Bs as if my brain has decided that it's play-time so I say LBBBBBB 😁

Omeprazole is the name of a popular medication that no-one seems able to say correctly either. I'm on Lansoprazole and for a very long time pronounced it Lan-so-pra-zo-lay. I eventually came to terms with the way medics pronounce it which is Lanzuprazole (or that's what it sounds like to my ear).
I'm also allergic to an antibiotic called Nitrofurantoin. I used to pronounce the last bit like the French name Antoine but the medics pronounce it nitro-foor-an-toe-in

I'm currently reading the Harry Potter books to son. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizadry is really difficult to say out loud! It always comes out witchcwaft and rizadry...

Dh cant say terminus. It always comes out as ternimus

In work we have a Caldicott Guardian. They are almost always referred to as the Calicott Cardigan. Everyone has trouble getting it out correctly!

Phenomenon. I always want to start singing that muppets song. 😂

So it's not just me who does that @Cattytabby 😂

Even though I know the difference between 'bought' and 'brought', when I have to say one out loud, I always say the wrong one.

Mahna mhna

I cannot say 'willy nilly' always comes out as 'willerley nillerly', we also have 'scamble eggs' as I cannot seem to say 'scrambled'.

😃🐸

Prodigy
I have difficulty deciding if it should be pro-di-gy or pro-gi-dy.

Good job neither of my kids is gifted 😂
