Spoonerisms

[blastoff99]

So last night I was in conversation with a relative and said something about 'denausible pliability.' I didn't mean to. But I'm not sorry either, because it's pretty funny. Haven't done that in awhile. My ex was really ... good?... at these, once mentioning having bought a car from Linda Honwood. A few seconds of blank stare from me later caused a reuttering of the sentence, and realization that 'Lynnwood Honda' might have made more sense. (I'm aware that neither of these are *technically* Spoonerisms, but they certainly are something.)

Anybody else? And yeah, I'm seeing some crossover potential with the Accidental Band Names thread.

Hunt's ketchup can get some unfriendly glances.

I do it with songs all the time:

Hang Your Bed (Hetal Mealth)

Carra Buddha (Barracuda)

Huke Jox Beero

I can think of some funny ones, but they're NSFW.

My least favorite TV cop show - "Husky and Starch". Unfortunately for me, I called it that for so long, that I almost can't say "Starsky and Hutch" at all; takes me 3 or 4 stuttery tries before it comes out correctly...

My favorite spoonerisms of all times is Cinderella by Jack E Ross from 1962.
It ill give you boose gimples.
Her two sisty uglers.
They made her do all the worty dirk while they sat around cheating auklets and maging readazines.
Chicaksee a fricken.
But the best of them is house to house, and you can't turn that around.

"She was about to chickasee a fricken."

I work with a guy who mixes words up all the time. The thing with him is, he doesn't realize he's doing it. Examples:
“My wife was really nagravating me”
“I took out my flustration on it”
“That sauce was really twangy.”
“I have no squalms about that.”

Rev Spooner himself had a LOT of these (hence the name). Some of my favorites:
Once at a wedding: "It is kisstomary to cuss the bride".
Raising a toast at a faculty event: "Long live our queer old dean!"
In a sermon: Our Lord is a shoving leopard"

My best friend once dreamt a spoonerism:

In his dream he was shopping for seeds at the local Lawn & Garden store, and the directions for use on one package of seeds that he picked up said “Weed ‘Em And Reap”
