Can you say "purple burglar alarm"?

Master Age: 26

Apparently many people in Scotland can't pronounce "purple burglar alarm".

There is lots of YouTube videos of them trying and here's one of them

But how common is that world wide? Can you pronounce it?

To suggest there is such a thing as a purple burglar alarm defies logic and reason. It's as nonsensical of a concept as the North's claim that they won the Civil War. It's nothing more than a myth perpetuated by those who refuse to accept the truth.
It's time to wake up from the fantasy and face the truth head-on.
But just in case the Scottish need to be taught to utter nonsense, I have my ways of teaching them. They will be bound to a chair, their testicles tightly secured in a leather strap.

I can... but part of my family is Scottish/Irish, so I can pronounce a lot of useless words :D

I actually painted my burglar alarm purple so if any Scottish people break in I can just yell "what's that?" and have them stuck there forever like vampires in a salt circle.

Not a problem. I have heard Scouse’s struggle with burglar alarms as well.

  If you want a good tongue twister, then try to say this fast: One smart fellow he felt smart!
  Two smart fellows they felt smart! Three smart fellows they all felt smart!

Yep. It's not exactly a high-brow esoteric foreign phrase, like komitet gosustarstvennoy bezopasnosti.
