[...] Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo “Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.” This is, apparently, a real sentence with actual meaning. I didn’t believe it either, but you can read an explanation at Mental Floss. [...]

Seeing this almost literally made me pee my pants, seeing as that last night I attended a poetry reading in which the poet repeated the word “Buffalo” literally at least a hundred times as part of his poem.

you can make the bababa ba sentence in filipino into a conversation:

a: bababa ba? (is it going down?)
b: o ba. bababa, ba. (of course. it’s going down.)

mmm? mmm…

The old ‘F” word works for this as well, and at least to me, is more understandable than buffalo.

ooh. ooh.
my favorite is this Chinese poem, “Lion-Eating Poet in the Stone Den”

Shíshì shīshì Shī Shì, shì shī, shì shí shí shī.
Shì shíshí shì shì shì shī.
Shí shí, shì shí shī shì shì.
Shì shí, shì Shī Shì shì shì.
Shì shì shì shí shī, shì shǐ shì, shǐ shì shí shī shìshì.
Shì shí shì shí shī shī, shì shíshì.
Shíshì shī, Shì shǐ shì shì shíshì.
Shíshì shì, Shì shǐ shì shí shì shí shī.
Shí shí, shǐ shí shì shí shī, shí shí shí shī shī.
Shì shì shì shì.

I hope that displayed right. the translation is on the Wikipedia too :)

Buffalo meat is amzing! Tastes like very good steak; less fat and cholesterol than chicken.

Some guy mentioned the Chinese version (it only works in pinyin since the characters are written differently). It’s ma ma ma ma ma (de) ma ma? “Is mother angry at mother’s horse?” And the “de” can be omitted. There is an even longer one which is much harder to pronounce properly for foreigners. Forty-four stone lions are dead. But that one is more of a tonguetwister than actual real similar words.
