Here's a tongue twisting little challenge

Here's a backwards phase, spoken by Adrian Edmondson in the movie "Guest house paradiso". He actually rehearsed this line speaking backwards so his mouth would have the right motions when the scene was flipped over. Here's the actual phrase, try saying it loudly and then flipping it over to see what it says.

"tnemem noem sookska."

I got this from the Making of "Guest house paradiso" when Adrian Edmondson in rehearsing the line to be used in one of the fight scenes in the movie that was going to be shot backwards.

For those who know the movie, it was during the kitchen fight. Here's the link, look very closely for the backwards filmed scene.

I'm dying to see how many of you get it right.

Speaking of backwards speaking. As a student, I worked as an attendant in a language laboratory, handing out 1/2 track cassette tapes in various languages. Every now and then, a student would put the tape in upside down. Invariably, they would come to me and say that I gave them the wrong tape in Swedish.
