English sentences repeated words
What is a sentence with the same word several times repeated? Do not use quotation marks, proper names, a language other than English, or anything else distasteful.Five "had"s in a row:
The parents were unable to conceive, so they hired someone else tobe a surrogate.
The parents had had a surrogate have their child.
The parents had had had their child.
The child had had no breakfast.
The child whose parents had had had had had no breakfast.
It is arguably possible to construct sentences with arbitrarily manyrepetitions of a word. For example:
1. Bulldogs fight
2. Bulldogs bulldogs fight fight. (i.e., bulldogs (that) bulldogs fight, (themselves) fight)
3. Bulldogs bulldogs bulldogs fight fight fight. (i.e., bulldogs (that) bulldogs (that) bulldogs fight, (themselves) fight, (themselves) fight)
...
n. etc.
