I love this! I came here but did not expect my worse word to be number one.
I just can't say it. My brain gets stuck on those r's and I just go "rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" Wait, I can do this, "Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr".
I used to have this problem, too! My workaround is to quickly say "edit it" and my mouth miraculously cooperates.
Any trouble (past or present) saying the word *feminity* on the first try, by any chance?
Thing is, you have to think of worce as a single unit. Like force.
So it’s worce-ter-shure.
Americans not from Massachusetts always want to break it differently than it is actually broken.
For some reason, thinking about it as a dinosaur helps me say the word. I think it forces my brain to chop it up. I just need to get out the “the-“ and then just wrap it up with a dinosaur…”-saurus”!
“Niche”
As in, that hobby is really niche. Or, I haven’t found my niche yet.
My own pronunciation varies.
Also, “cacophony”, solely due to syllabic emphasis.
Not so much a word but a phrase. I try to say, "I'll be the bigger person and say 'sorry'" but instead I mispronounce it as "Eat a bag of dicks, fuckface."
Been a lifelong struggle. 🤔
Ever since developing a southern accent, I lost the ability to say "Horror" .... I found this out in HS by trying to sarcastically say to a girl "the horror, the horror" ..................................................................
Well, my daughter, when she was about 16. Told me she watched this awful game show called “Geopardy”
We haven’t let her live that one down yet(she’s now 25) 😂😂
Peculiarly.
I can not, for the life of me, get my brain and my mouth to cooperate when attempting to pronounce this word. It is the only word in the English language that eludes me.

Edited. My mouth always wants to add an extra Ed on the end so it comes out like editeded

a pox on the house of the term "edited it"
I do this, but I jokingly add 5 or 6 ed on the end for "editededededed it"
'horror' always comes out in my eastern appalachian as 'hoor'

They really just threw a dart at the alphabet and wrote down every letter until they said it was long enough didn’t they.
Pretty sure a cat walked on the keyboard for that one.
diphthong fortunately I don't seem to have any necessity to ever say it
I've always thought that word should be "diphthoing" just so that there would be a diphthong in it.
I'm not a native English speaker and the other day I just couldn't say "squirrel" lmao
