Do you have a word/s that you just can't say?

I always have trouble with taut/taunt.

I know the difference, but often I will say that the rope (which is tight, as in taut) is being teased by bullies on the playground. (taunt) It's gotten to the point where I don't use taut to describe something, as I will say taunt. DH will tease for days on this one!

Rural

Not me personally but I have heard of women who just can’t say - moist. Somehow it is like nails on a chalk board.

When I was a kid it took me forever to learn to say breakfast. Like into my teens.

I live with 2 dyslexics. There are a lot of words I’m scratching my head at to understand. Lol. I gently correct them once I figure it out.

This was what I was going to say!

Phenomenonal. Just can't, even if I break it down and say it slowly. I just avoid.

Regularly. I just can't wrap my tongue around it. Words with a lot of "L" in it tend to slow me down.

I frequently say aminal and mazagine because every single niece and nephew on my side of the family has goofed these two words up. It's been going on for 40 years now. My whole family goofs these words up. Ds was in middle school before he got it straightened out and he still sometimes slips.

Do you say "rule".  I hear so many people pronounce it like that!

No, I say roo-ruhl, but it's really hard to say. It's a tongue twister for me. Which used to really suck since it was part of my dad's job title (rural letter carrier)...so if people asked what he did, I learned to just say "mailman" instead.

know now or now know

Either way I have to really think about which word is which. Strange.

My dad has problems with a few words and we almost die laughing everytime. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Chiropractor is choir-practor.
Geraldo is Jeraldo.
Manure is ba-nure.
Every time he says, "what?!" We correct him and he says it the same way. 🤪😁🙃 Gotta love it.

I cannot for the life of me say the name Ethan
I can say Nathan, but not Ethan! Good thing no family members are named that LOL

I have trouble with ‘l” in the middle of words despite childhood speech therapy.
Wolf is the word I have the hardest time with, apparently I say it woof, but the weird part is I can’t even hear the difference when others say the two words, they both sound the same to me. When I read any books with Wolf in it to kids I make into audience participation so they say it for me.

Peculiar is another one, but I can’t even read it in my head correctly. I have to over dramatically sound it out. I need people to say that word more often so I hear it naturally, maybe that would help.

Who's the horrible person who invented the word "rural"? As a former kid w/R issues that word is just wrong. I can say it if I go very slowly. It triggers years of repeating "Ronnie Rabbit ran down the road" in speech therapy.
