you knew that word was so hard to pronounce! i'm now scared even to attempt it.
Ha! Sounds like an English Made Easy tape recorded by someone prone to tongue-tiedness. I think there's a comedy sketch in there somewhere.
I really truly and sincerely cannot pronounce that word on the first try. It offends my well-trained speaker ego.
Go ahead, honestus! You know you want to! ; )
Think prestidigitation is fun? Try legerdemain some time.
I can say legerdemain. Even with a french accent: leh-jay-duh-mahn. prestiigidieitation on the other hand is nearly impossible.
Easy:
prestuh
dijuh
tayshun
tumtee-tumtee-tumtee
i did it - i said it - hooray for me!
hooray for you, honestus! now if you never do anything else notworthy in your life you can still say you said this word! and that's gotta count for something. i think anyone who can say this word should get a cake or a party or at least a big, red balloon that says 'congratulations' or 'felicitations' or 'prestidigitations' on it.
tofubpm: like jbpm's only with tofu instead of Jesus.
i hope something else noteworthy happens... (sigh)
