A tongue twister s a phrase sentence or rhyme that presents difficulties when spoken because it contains similar sounds. whistle for the thistle sifter, for example. to get the full effect of a tongue twister one should try to repeat it several times as quickly as possible, without stumbling or mispronouncing.
tongue twisters have long been a popular form of word play, particularly for school children, but they also have a more serious side - being used in elocution teaching and in the treatment of some speech defects.
some of the interesting tongue twisters are :
1) are our oars oak?
2) a big black bug bit a big black bear, made the big black bear bleed blood.
3) crisp crusts crackle crunchy
4) Fed Fed Ted bread, and Ted Fed Fred bread.
5) give MR. Snipe's wife's knife a swipe.
