I am not great when it comes to speaking, even just in a normal conversation — especially after I've spent all day in front of my computer trying to remember all the words I've ever known for whatever story I'm working on at the time.
So obviously, I've never been great when it comes to the particularly tough tongue twisters I've been challenged with over the years. I still remember the first time I tried to tackle the tale about a young lady named Susie who happened to own her own seashell retail business by the shore and stumbling over every phrase as a little kid. As I've grown older, that has only gotten worse.
So, I'm sure you can imagine how poorly I did on the super tough examples listed below! Scroll through each one to test your own oratory skills, and be sure to go all the way to the bottom to see why #13 was deemed by the Guinness World Record officials as the most difficult twister of them all.
