phrases you can't spit out
Does anyone else have phrases that you just can't get right when you say them? The two that have fried me for years:
-trap crop (it's an agricultural term when you plant a crappy crop around a valuable one and hope that the bugs will eat that one and be satisfied before they get to the good one, obviously I say 'crap trop')
-back fat (fack bat)

I saw a tongue twister on FB in the not too distant past. I can't say it at normal speed no matter what I do: Irish Wrist Watch.

I just thought of another one, the name of something in the school cafeteria last year: Wild West Wrap. Don't even get me started on my efforts with that one.

I can't say substitute teacher, but I think it's just me.

I can't say "CrackerBarrel," the restaurant. It comes out CrackelBarrel EVERY time, no matter how much I concentrate on it!

For some reason I always have a problem with "rear wheel" as in a car's rear wheel. I just end up saying wheel wheel.

My husband once said "far apart" as "par afart" in front of a middle school class (bad mistake) and has never been able to say it right since then.

There is a drinking game called "Fuzzy Duck". You and your friends sit in a circle, and you say either "Fuzzy Duck" (if the direction of play is clockwise), "Ducky Fuzz" (if counterclockwise), or "Duzzy" (to reverse direction of play). Mess up and you drink. The two most popular phrases spoken when messing up are left as an exercise for the reader...
