Words that are too awkward to pronounce

[Redeye 399]

The most random topic ever.

 

There are some english words out there that are so awkward to pronounce, especially the ones with "ir" and "ur" in them, like "girl" or "rural". I always ends up sounding like a drunk whenever I try to pronounce them.

 

What kinds of awkward-to-pronounce words do you guys know about?

Uranus. When I pronounce it, I always think about that video about "I can't even put a finger on Uranus".

I'm pretty sure there are tons of words that can be used as a dirty synonym

Okay, this isn't really a difficult one to pronounce, yet everyone I ever meet mispronounces it. The word is 'Sandwich'. It is not pronounced 'samwich' as many people seem to believe. It has no 'M' in it! This is one of my pet peeves and I'd like to hear it said correctly far more often, even if it is difficult.

'Specific' is ironically difficult to pronounce, specifically because it's generally not used often...only in specific circumstances.
