"inevitable".

It always goes down to mumbling when I try to pronounce it.

I thought you meant words your morals prohibit you from saying.... :p

Anyway, I don't think there's a word I can't say. I mean there might be but I haven't run into it yet. But the name of that Welsh village in the UK is a bit of a challenge. :p

Not even the Welsh can pronounce it properly, most of them just call it Llanfair PG.

EDIT: Translation to English, if anyone's interested.

Thats because when we invaded they created their own language to fuck with us so they could speak in code we couldn't understand... we still can't >.>

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is the example of two people in the war office responsible for creating fake names, drunk(of course) and one giving the other a dare.

(this is all a joke, don't be offended the people of wales)

The word "verbatim"

I keep wanting to say "Verr-ba-tum" rather than "Ver-bay-tum"
I've always heard "ver-ba-tum" so maybe both are acceptable?
OT: Anything with an R in it. For example: when I say "Gerald" it tends to come out as halfway between that and "Gewald". It's really annoying.

I used to find it impossible to say innovative.. but i recently managed it somehow :p

Can;t say Anenome though (probably spelt wrong.. its the plant that Nemo lives in!) whenever i try i just get this stammer An...an...a...an...anena...fuckit!
I'd like to point out, sea anemones are actually animals, not plants. So are natural sponges, for that matter.

OT: Anything involving a rolled Spanish R. I can do a Japanese R, which is a very similar sound, just fine, but I can't keep my tongue loose enough to do any flips past that first one that you hear in Japanese.

I totally get where you're coming from; the title immediately had me thinking "sex". But it's more psychological than moral - I can say it, but it always comes out like when Miranda Hart tries to say it, in that it's either shyly whispered, silently mouthed or emphatically shouted.

I have two friends who pronounce "turret" as "turrent".

I'm sure there are lots of things I can't say correctly, but I can't think of anything right now.

I can't say the word philosophical . The worst part is , i tend to forget i can't say it , and i usually only say it when i'm talking about something smart or to a smart person , then i say it all wrong and my credibility drops.

Sea anemone? Uh-nem-oh-nee.
Just say "An enemy" - you can say those two words one after the other, right?

When I was about 12 or 13, I had to go see an otolaryngologist (probably mispelling it, but an ear nose and throat doctor) I spent the better half of 20 minutes trying to pronounce it because I thought it was just the funniest word I had ever heard.

I had tons of speech problems as a kid, that lasted for years. My biggest hurdle was pronouncing "R" sounds. They always come out sounding more like "W" and people had trouble understanding me.

I can say Donaudampfschiffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft though.
This is why German is the coolest language around. That work actually makes sense, but you did forget that "dampfschifffahrt" has three "f's".

OT: I can't think of any words that I can't pronounce...guess I'm just awesome.

Oh I already am, I'm an English major and can't even get that right. One of my professors was irate with my inability to say it properly. I had to explain I know the spelling, definition and everything else about the two different words, I just can't say it.
would you say that cinnamon and synonym are... synonyms?

Except that would be wrong, too; the overall sound is right, but if you do it that way, the n and the m are switched. Dags90 had the right pronunciation.

Edit: Although if you don't mind breaking it down to more than two words, you could go with "a Nihm oh Knee." Granted, that's exactly what Dags suggested, but at least mine are actual words; the second one is part of the title of the book The Rats of Nihm.
