skorogovorka

which is russian for "tongue twister" (literally something more like "fast-saying"), but actually sounds like a dance step. warning: i continue not to have cyrillic capabilities, so this is going to be in roman letters and look accordingly ridiculous:

Karl u Klari ukral koralli, a Klara u Karla ukrala klarnyet.

(Karl stole Clara's coral necklace, and Clara stole Karl's clarinet.)

Whoa, that one's even tougher in Russian than English. *untwists tongue*

skorogovorka -- is the stress the 'go'? What a cool word. I always love a little Russian tidbit. :)
