Let's talk Spoonerism!!!
What are Spoonerisms?
Spoonerisms are phrases, sentences, or words in language with swapped sounds. It is named after the Reverend William Archibald Spooner (1844–1930), Warden of New College, Oxford, who was notoriously prone to this tendency.Usually this happens by accident, particularly if you're speaking fast. Come and wook out of the lindow is an example.
Of course, there are many millions of possible Spoonerisms, but those which are of most interest (mainly for their amusement value) are the ones in which the Spoonerism makes sense as well as the original phrase. Go and shake a tower and a well-boiled icicle illustrate this well (go and take a shower, a well-oiled bicycle).
Some more examples...
~"Three cheers for our queer old dean!" (dear old queen, referring to Queen Victoria)
~"Is it kisstomary to cuss the bride?" (customary to kiss)
~"The Lord is a shoving leopard." (a loving shepherd)
~"A blushing crow." (crushing blow)
~"A well-boiled icicle" (well-oiled bicycle)
~"You were fighting a liar in the quadrangle." (lighting a fire)
~"Is the bean dizzy?" (dean busy)
~"Someone is occupewing my pie. Please sew me to another sheet." (occupying my pew...show me to another seat)
~"You have hissed all my mystery lectures. You have tasted a whole worm. Please leave Oxford on the next town drain." (missed...history, wasted...term, down train)
Let's see if QL can come up with interesting phrases like these.....C'mon,people,unleash ur creative sides and let the words flow!
Good luck!
