Friday Fling #184 June 8th 2012<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

We haven’t done tongue-twisters in a long time. Until now!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Tongue-twisters are usually alliterative lines, that is where most or all the words begin with the same letter, or where saying the lines out loud will tend to be difficult, especially in repetition. Here’s one I just thought of while driving over last weekend. In this case it was inspired by the tune that goes with the popular video game Angry Birds, which my grandson used to play a lot!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

It’s so dismal,
\nand abysmal.
\nit’s so dismal and abysmal
\nit’s abysmal and so dismal
\nit’s so dismal and abysmal
\nIt’s so dismal.
\nAnd abysmal.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

It’s so dismal,
\npast abysmal.
\nCataclysmal.
\nPepto Bismol.
\nIt’s so dismal, past abysmal,
\ncataclysmal, pass the Bismol.
\nIt’s abysmal and so dismal.
\nCataclysmal.
\nPass the Bismol.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

The most famous tongue-twisters remain descriptive of a scene.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
\nHow many pickled peppers did Peter Piper pick?<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

She sells sea shells by the seashore.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Great green globs of greasy grimy gopher guts
\ngreasy grimy gopher guts
\ngreasy grimy gopher guts<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Ida inadvertently introduced iron into intestinal interiors. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

OK I just made that last one up. Ida accidentally swallowed a nail. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Proving that good tongue-twisters do not have to be of any great length, especially since part of the point is that they be repeated in an attempt to master pronouncing them correctly without error. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

This week the Friday Fling has fun writing tongue-tugging tongue twisters!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Be sure to read, try to pronounce, and comment fluently on your fellow Pals’ grammatical challenges. Then find a good twist in your weekend!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
