Well, it turned out that *I* could

What to think of: "Sluwe Sjaantje sloeg de slome slager", which means "Sly Jane hit the slow butcher". This one is a great embarrasment for people wearing false teeth. They keep spitting their teeth out over it.

than a lot and sorry for answering so late - I'd forgotten to check the aricle for new threads *shame on me*... what's "tongue twister" in dutch???

first: you're welcome and don't worry about replying a bit late.

I know there is a dutch word for "tongue-twister", but at the moment the official term escapes me completely. In dutch slang it is sometimes called a "bekken-breker", which could be translated as "mouth-breaker", where "bek" is actually not the mouth of a human, but rather the mouth of any animal except for a horse. Humans and horses have a "mond" instead.
