Words are silly
It has come to my attention that it is very difficult to say the words "toy boat" repeatedly and very fast (in that order, I mean, of course). I know there are lots of word combinations like this, but this particular one cracks me up to no end every time I try.
Oh, simple-minded me.

i ended up saying "toyboyt" by the third one.
"boy toy"?
if you kept going
as a special educator, i can say with authority that you are retarded.
You really are just a big kid, arent you?
Yea. Me too.
Although I get called "childish" more than "big kid."
The reason for this, I think, is that the phrase is stressed on the second syllable, which ordinarily means the unstressed first syllable reduces to schwa or something similar, but the first syllable is a diphthong, which is resistant to reduction.
Dipthong! That makes sense, teo. I was hoping you'd chime in.
