See if there is interest for this.

1. Each day I will post 10 questions, at random times of the day.
2. Each Quiz runs exactly 24 hours.
3. The first person that has all 10 questions right, wins. Or if no one has all questions right, the best one wins.
4. You can only post answers ONCE for the same quiz.
5. No cash involved. Just glory. :)

Or maybe I should have said "good on ya mate for cracking this hum dinger of a quiz" - although it doesn't sound as convincing when I try to put the words in a sentence :D

lol well as much as sausages are full of offal and other interesting animal tid bits (lots of snout I believe), they're not full of vomit (I hope), so 7. Mystery Bag is a Sausage. And 8. Sanger is a Sandwich, as opposed to a 'snag' which is a sausage also. Confused? try living here. And ummm 2. Hooroo is a 'goodbye'.

My sentence : strewth (cor / wow / gee) that's a bottler (something great / super) of a quiz cobber (mate / buddy / pal / friend)!

Hooroo!

Whoopsy, I apologize for missing LED's answer to question 2 (2 was indeed supposed to be goodbye and not hello - also according to my helpful dictionary :D), I was just so dazzled by all her additional comments (especially the one about the sheep because my trusty dictionary didn't elaborate on the definition) that I forgot to pay attention :D

Actually, that was really hard. I guessed a lot of answers :D

My brother used to stutter and he had to do all kinds of tongue twisters to help him, most of them are fairly well known…

I thought a filling the blanks might be easier…

1. She sells ….by the sea shore.
2. Peter Piper picked a ……. of pickled peppers.
3. Around the ragged rocks the rugged ……… ran.

This isn’t one my brothers speech pathologist taught him…

4. I’m not the pheasant plucker I’m the pheasant plucker’s mate, I’m only plucking pheasants coz the ………….

5. Betty Botter had some butter, "But," she said, "this butter's …………
6. A big black bug bit a big black ……..
7. How much wood would a …………. chuck if a ………………. could chuck wood?
8. Silly Sally swiftly shooed …………. silly sheep
9. All I want is a cup of proper coffee made in a proper ………… coffee pot.

This is extra for Rosamund...

Na vrh brda vrba …… [which apparently is a Croation tongue-twister… and yes I don’t know which part of the phrase I have removed! ]

Only the last word: na vrh brda vrba mrda (it means that on the top of hill a willow is stirring, although they usually don't grow on hills). Yes, we all twisted tongues with that one as children. I'd like very much to know who (or what) is your source of information, but I suppose you won't tell me.

As for the rest , I'll try to guess some of them.

1. shells (seashells)?
2. pot?
6. beetle?
7. woodchuck (I think I heard that one)

Sorry abut silly Sally and her silly sheep, can't think of anything.

It reminds me of a phrase "Marry the merry Mary" which one of my professors used trying to teach us the pronunciation of various kinds of e in English.

May-25-2006 03:15

"Easier" you say. "HA!" I say :D

1. seashells
2. packet? - someone told me this one once but I can't remember how it goes except that it's long
3. rascal?
4. pheasant plucker's late?
5. brassy?
6. bowtie?
7. woodchuck
8. seven?
9. copper?

May-25-2006 03:24

still looking for answers to 2, 5 & 6.

How's this for a tongue twister?

Red lorry, yellow lorry...

I mixed whiskey with the whiskey mixer...
