I discovered what spoonerisms are today in my trusty Metro paper, I have such an exciting life don't I.
Spoonerisms-what a lovely word to say!
I've been hearing them for years though and didn't know it. On the good ole Two Ronnie Shows, they loved to swap around the first couple of syllables of words with other letters to make new weird and wonderful sentence concoctions!
At the theatre the other day I was sewn into my sheet!
By the way Spoonerisms (there Goldie goes again ;-) were invented by an Oxford Schollar Mr Spooner. (think that was his name)
Love to hear your spoonerisms....

Sorry couldn't resist!
I need to get a ............life, no i've got one of those which i'm quite happy with thanks.
Help! i'm talking to myself on my own blog, is there a condition for this? other than wittering babble?
My current favorite is Buck Fush.
And I often say (by accident) Beggs and Aken.
Ah Spoonerisms.
Classics include the pheasant plucker song; and some people claim that Friar Tuck is a spoonerism.
However, there is evidence that most of the spoonerisms attributed to Rev Spooner (including The Queer old Dean) are apocryphal; he hardly made any of them. This didn't stop drunk students yelling up at his window for a speech, to which he'd reply "You don't want to hear me make a speech, you want to hear one of those....things!"
Ok Dobi the Tog
