#00Buck Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I was talking with a friend and they mixed their words up said something hilarious by accident. I burst out laughing. Sometimes getting tongue tied can be funny or get you into hot water. Do you mix up you words or have a speech issue? Sometimes I have a hard time getting a word out and I have to pause or I just pick a different word that has the same meaning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osrik Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I don't think I mix my words up that often, but fairly frequently I find that I can't think of the word or term I was going to use, and have to pause and try to figure out what it was. I also have a tendency to mispronounce some words really badly if I'm not paying attention, which my friends usually find funny (the two most recent examples I can think of are Descartes and Crimea), though it has gotten me into trouble in the past (in 5th grade I was asked to identify the Niger River in geography, and you can probably guess how I mispronounced it.. I still remember the look of horror on the teacher's face). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 my sense of humour was borne from my viciously confused tongue most people i know assume that a sentence is not truly one i have said until it is maimed horridly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endless/Nameless Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I do stutter and stumbles at times, but usually only if I'm nervous. More interestingly however, if I'm "backed into a corner" I burst out into a southern drawl. I've never been further south than the Iowa border. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strongbob Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I'm generally good at getting my words out, except when I'm not, then anything goes. Stuttering, spoonerisms, repeating words, verbal pauses, all fair game. I find drinking helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 all the time. i had a bit of a stutter during late middle school/early high school, but that was just stress and it sorted itself out for the most part. i still get the order of words completely wrong, or try to say two (or more) words at once, or say the exact opposite of what i mean, so on and so forth. also happens when i write. i'll stick a letter in a spot where it doesn't belong or just outright place a letter that isn't even part of the word.

Red Lion Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Constantly. I sometimes stutter and mix up words thinking one thing and saying another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stumble about, nervous or not, or when I'm speaking fast. And something I just go full East Texan and drag out everything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onnes Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I can't really speak while doing anything else at the same time. This gets amusing in multiplayer games where I often have to pause mid-sentence while I try to parse basic directions and objects into words.

Glowing Glass Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I only stutter or confuse words when I'm nervous about not stuttering or confusing words. I hate myself when that happens. I seem to be good at tongue twisters and difficult to pronounce words. Whatever crafty sentences I make, my deep voice usually goes with it. Whenever I mess up, it's hilarious anyways. Maybe I could be a voice actor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDingo Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Today someone asked me how I was and I accidentally said "Alright thanksyou" He took it that I said "Alright thanks, you?" So it worked out excellently 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
