Tongue Twisters A tongue twister is defined as a phrase or sentence that is hard to speak fast, usually because of alliteration or a sequence of nearly similar sounds.
Alliteration By combining the effects of alliteration (repetition of a sound), particularly of similar but not identical sounds, with a phrase designed such that it is made very easy to slip (perhaps making a Spoonerism)
Spoonerisms Spoonerisms are words or phrases in which letters or syllables get swapped. This often happens accidentally in slips of the tongue (or tips of the slung as Spoonerisms are often affectionately called!):  A lack of pies (A pack of lies)  It's roaring with pain (It's pouring with rain)  Wave the sails (Save the whales)  Bad salad (Sad ballad)   Mean as custard (Keen as mustard)  Plaster man (Master plan)  Pleating and humming (Heating and plumbing)  Trim your snow tail (Trim your toe nails)  Birthington's washday (Washington's Birthday)  Trail snacks (Snail tracks)
Tongue Twister History Tongue twisters are part of the folklore of many cultures, and were used in elocution books as “recreations in articulation” designed to perfect the principles of perfect pronunciation.
Speech Improvement Tongue twisters are sometimes used in speech therapy. They are also used to help get rid of an accent.
To play a game of tongue twisters, you must repeat the shorter tongue twisters three or four times rapidly from memory without stumbling, or read the longer tongue twister verses as fast as you can one time through without making any mistakes. Good luck!
