This thread is for Spoonerisms, but I've been intentionally vague with the title in order to allow for other kinds of spoons, should people feel so inclined.
If you don't know what a Spoonerism is:
Examples:
Rules:
Happy spooning.
If you don't know what a Spoonerism is:
Google said:A spoonerism is an error in speech in which corresponding consonants, vowels, or morphemes are switched between two words in a phrase.
Examples:
TVs Mountbatten-Windsor said:I'm listening to a Pastor of Muppets
Possessed said:It's been a few years since I've seen the Barton Buttman
Rules:
- Spoonerisms must be Spoonerisms.
- Spoonerisms do not need to form actual words, providing the result is amusing.
- Spoonerisms are more about the sound than the letters. Therefore, a slight alteration in spelling to better communicate the sound-swap is allowed (providing it is accurate to the vowel sound you are swapping). Eg. "Master" was changed to "pastor" (as opposed to "paster") for my spoonerised quote of Frink.
- Don't Google "best Spoonerisms" or similar, and post all your findings here. That's lame. Get creative.
- If you somehow come up with such a cryptic Spoonerism that you feel it warrants explanation, put it in spoiler tags.
- Use NSFW tags if warranted.
- The best kind of spoon is a quoted spoon, and the same rules apply as in the "Out of Context" thread (with obvious allowance for the section you've spoonerised).
Happy spooning.
