How can I say?
Dear Friends,
Suppose I am giving a lecture and I mispronounce a tongue-twisting name. I want to be ironic and want to say that I hope I will mispronounce this name in the next week's lecture, too. What ironic statement could I say which includes the noun 'tongue'?
I hope my tongue will ... this name next time, too. (?)
Thank you.

I think you may want to say that you hope you will NOT mangle the name next time. " Or you could say "Right. "

I think you may want to say that you hope you will NOT mangle the name next time.
Or you could say something like "We'll see what creative pronuncation will come out next time."
Or you could say "Right. Easy for YOU to say."

As GG mentioned, "Easy for you to say" is a good reaction to mispronunciations. For years it was my boss's favorite expression in that situation.
