A grooming observation: "Bristle-brushing bitches" is a really fiendish tongue-twister. I can't even get it out a few times fast, let alone ten.

So on one side of the shaving wars we have the Bristle-brushing bitches and on the other side we have the cream-clapping .. i'll get my coat

I can do the sheik one just fine.

Coincidentally, "Bristle-Brushing Bitches" is the name of our local roller derby team.

I just discovered I have no idea how to pronounce sheik.

rhapsodie, like "shake"

the ending "kh" is actually a special sound

I think the tongue twisted depends on a mispronunciation though, like "sheek"

I learned how to say sheik thanks to Frank Zappa, who was calling himself Sheik Yerbouti back when I was young and impressionable.
