You skipped over the Eyjafjallajökull word didn’t you? Say after me: Eyjafjallajökull. You can’t can you? Even with the phonetics AY-yah-fyah-lah-YOH-kuul? Nor can I.
So I need to learn this lovely word and add it to my current party-trick tongue twisters: humuhumunukunukapua’a and Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. (Bet you can”t say those either…)
