Pounding at a thick stone wall won't move it, sometimes, you need to step back to see the way around.

There's only one other language I know any tongue twisters in (Russian). And none of them that I know of try to trip you up and make you say a swear word (or anything else that others might find objectionable).

Because in Russian if you want to say a swear word or anything that others might find objectionable, you do not need to find an excuse for it - you are just saying it.

This one might be a stretch, but one of my teachers claimed that Brodsky used the place name "Hiroshima" in some poem of his (can't recall which off the top of my head) because it sounds close to a semi-vulgar Russian expression meaning "to hell with them" (yes I know the expression) -- and Brodsky isn't one who hesitates in swearing when he wants to.
