Are there words that you have difficulty with pronouncing?

Asked by rebbel (35550points) May 29th, 2011

Do you have certain words that are difficult for you to speak out?
Words that are too much loaded with taboo, guilt, etc.
For me, when I say the word sex I am very self aware that I am saying it, it comes out as seqwsz although I have no problems with sex now, just was a taboo when I was young.
Or the Dutch word for cancer (kanker), same thing, I hear myself saying it and the K’s get a very ‘closed mouth sound’ when I was young it was the feared disease or just K.
Recognize this?
Got any words you have difficulty with?
