What words are hard for you to pronounce?

[dotfurio]

At first I had to really think hard every time I tried to pronounce my kids potential major - kinesiology
Although I use it verbally, this one always trips me up for a minute when I see it in print or when I want to spell it - thorough

Humuhumunukunukuapua’a Hawaii’s state fish

Clearly you don't have anyone in your house who listened to the soundtrack of High School Musical 2, I can't pronounce that just fine LOL.

I’m another one for anesthetist.

I can't say
Deposited It
Credited It

I was a stutterer as a young child and those words cannot come out of my mouth without sounding like: "Depositedededed It"

I was going to say forwarded but same concept. I always end up saying forwardededed

Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg. It's a lake in Massachusetts with a concert venue on one shore. Native American for, "you fish on your side, I fish on my side, nobody fish in the middle."

It's just the 'bunagung' section that trips me up.

eta: of course, I don't get to say it all that much

Able. I know, just two consonants and a word you hear all the time, but I always say "avle" and always have done. Makes my mum laugh, anyway.

My dad cannot say frustrated. He always says flustrated. He knows what it is but he just can't for some reason.

Same with me and cupboard. It comes out covered. My sister makes fun of me and not in a nice sisterly way.

 

[YoYoAurora]

I flub emollient and statistics every single time I try to say them. I also tend to say cimimmin instead of cinnamon, but I blame a former co-worker's young son for that one. He couldn't say cinnamon raisin biscuit. It came out cimimmin raisy biscuit. Cute in a 2 year old; not so cute in someone over 30!

Rural is tough for me.

Me too! Anything with that R placement. I can’t pronounce the name Rory either. It comes out in a jumbled mess.

 

[pookybean]

adjudicated and recidivism
i can read them just fine and pronounce them correctly in my head...but for some reason they never come out of my mouth correctly!

 

[Diznygrl]

Rural is such a stupid word! It's impossible to say without sounding dumb.

My favorite joke on the show 30 Rock was when Jenna did a movie called "The Rural Juror". LOL, no matter how you say it it sounds like you have a mouthful of marbles.

I am not alone!

Anemone gets me every time.

I teach middle school science and when we study animals, this example from the cnidarian phlylum always messes me up.
