I know tongue twisters most of the time don't make any sense. But I'd like to know this one, please: "Two truckee truckers truculently truckling." ? I only understood the words in boldface. I couldn't find the word truckee and the meaning I found for truckle bears no relation to the sentence given.
Best wishes,
