Your steet fink. OK, post your Spoonerisms.

[trof]

A spoonerism is an error in speech or deliberate play on words in which corresponding consonants, vowels, or morphemes are switched (see metathesis). It is named after the Reverend William Archibald Spooner (1844–1930), Warden of New College, Oxford, who was notoriously prone to this tendency.<1><2> It is also known as a marrowsky, after a Polish count who suffered from the same impediment.<3> While spoonerisms are commonly heard as slips of the tongue resulting from unintentionally getting one's words in a tangle, they can also be used intentionally as a play on words. In some cultures, spoonerisms are used as a rhyme form used in poetry, such as German Schüttelreime.

* "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)<8>

14. My parasitology professor was always doing spoonerisms,

apparently without knowing it. The one I remember best was "You too can be ritten by bat fleas."

Not terribly funny, but my lab partner and I had been out for a pizza and a few beers before class. We were glad we were in the back row because we were totally losing it.

[Flaxbee]

15. For some reason, I've always said "Marmer's Farket"

rather than Farmer's Market. :D

[Kutjara]

17. The British comedian Kenny Everett....

...had a weekly, prime-time TV show in the UK for several years during the 1970s. It was a sketch-based show, with a regularly occurring cast of characters, one of whom, "Cupid Stunt," was an outrageous actress (played by Kenny in drag). Years later, Kenny said that the station managers never caught the Spoonerism, so he continued to use the name.

[Withywindle]

[skygazer]

21. My friend once complained of "assbite of the frost"

When she fell into a snowbank while peeing outdoors during a drunken revel.

She was also rather fond of "cheese in broccoli sauce."

Oh, and my husband came out with "Warmal Globing" once which is one of my favorites.

[Burma Jones]

22. I spoonered Bundt Cake in front of my kids once

That was bad.......

[madamesilverspurs]

23. "Sisty ugler"

which my older brother still ribs me with; it came from a 'spoonerized' version of Cinderella back in the early 1960s.

My younger brother was teaching a class aboard an aircraft carrier and came out with "...it could happen in one swell foop." And he was known as "Foop" until he retired from the Navy.

26. when I used to be an artisan bread baker, I was at a party and told someone who asked what I did

that I was a "bed breaker" when I meant to say bread baker. There were a few moments of contemplative silence before I realized what I had said. I don't recall if that spoonerism got me a date or not....

28. "The night was stark and dormy...

The wind went beeping swy
A little old cog labin
Stood by a rountian moad
And in it's wroken bindow
A clickering shandle flowed..."

My 80-year old mother told me her father used to recite this poem to her when she was a kid. Unfortunately, she doesn't remember the rest.
