“Rubber baby buggy bumpers” is child’s play compared to this collection of tongue twisters from around the world. Some of them are a bit ridiculous:
Something in a thirty-acre thermal thicket of thorns and thistles thumped and thundered threatening the three-D thoughts of Matthew the thug – although, theatrically, it was only the thirteen-thousand thistles and thorns through the underneath of his thigh that the thirty year old thug thought of that morning.
Try out this one in Somali:
waxaan faley waan faleyba
waxaanaan falin waad fashey
maxaad iigu fashishay
I don’t know what I just said but it was fun. Thanks to Miss Cellania over at Neatorama for pointing out this site.

Another great tongue twister which is always made more fun by the possibility of coming out dirty:
I’m not the pheasant plucker I’m the pheasant plucker’s son and I’m only plucking pheasants ’til the pheasant plucking’s done.
